Kim S Posted May 15, 2011 Share Posted May 15, 2011 (edited) FS/FT is a LADO Superfalcon-2. An amazing Canadian 80's piece of craftsmanship that I'm only considering letting go because I 'need' a 5-string... Walnut body with a Walnut/Birdseye maple neck 2x humbuckers that someone once suspected being DiMarzios (I have no idea what they actually are, but they sound nice!) 3-way PU-selector Vol/Pre-amp Vol/Tone Pre-amp on/off 2-way switch 5-way EQ preset knob EQ preset knob on/off switch Phase switch Humbucker/singlecoil switch I never really use the switches and knobs. It has a nice warm vintage tone that I never really move away from, but with all the controls, you'll have the option. Sale price is £1,200. Up for trades, show me what you got! I live in Bristol. At the moment I don't have a car so won't be able to deliver it anywhere I'm afraid. I do have a post office across the road though, if you want me to ship it.

RhysP Posted May 16, 2011 Share Posted May 16, 2011 Blimey! I haven't seen one of those since the Frankfurt trade fair in 1984 (or was it '85?). Lovely bass - have a bump on me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you remember what they were asking for them new at the time? It's truly a nice piece of work, if someone made these new today I wouldn't expect them to be cheap. A useful detail (feel free to agree or disagree) is the fact that you can adjust the two volumes to create a fuzz/dist-like sound. I did use it as an on board effect when playing in a prog-rock band. I could have used a pedal like everyone else but obviously it wouldn't be nearly as cool Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lado guitars are still made - it might be worth you getting in touch with them & asking what the price was for your bass. There's a forum too so it might be worth putting it on that if you have no luck selling it here.
