nobodysprefect Posted September 13, 2012 Posted September 13, 2012 (edited) Very nice jazz-type fretless. 34,5" scale, 19 mm string spacing, adjustable. Side dots on every 'fret.' Weighs only 4.0 kgs. Mahogany/maple body, maple w/laminates neck and ebony board. Very jazz -like tones from the Bassculture single coils. Punch, thickness and mwaah. Aguilar OBP works with the single coils. The neck is very shallow and Smith-esque (very playable) with a tad of asymmetry. Very quick and comfortable neck, the bass is also very comfortable on strap. Trades: would trade up to a Fodera 6 or perhaps a very punchy and gnarly Wood & Tronics 6, or the right Adamovic 6, Leduc, Noguera, Skjold (my old fretted whaleback would be nice) - alternatively, I'd agree to a good value fpr Music Man, Fender, Sadowsky metros etc since they are easy to sell locally. Price: I think about 1200 quid is a very reasonable price - the quality is up there, and the bass is in very good condition, with little fingerboard wear. Comes with a nice Ritter hard case. Here's a myspace page with different L.Kah basses. I think especially the fretless #026 has similar tones, but also the #27 bears much similarity. You can hear the growl, thickness and presence quite well in clips 1 and 6.

nobodysprefect Posted September 13, 2012 Author Posted September 13, 2012 You, too, can now buy a slice of heaven! One fretless is quite enough for me!
Bobby K Posted September 14, 2012 Posted September 14, 2012 This really is a work of art! Just been looking at the the Myspace page, such a gorgeous thing that bass. A very reasonable price too! Bump!

Re: the price - I got this for the same price, so I thought I'd pass the luck along. Also... I love being able to sell something that's absolutely top quality and hand made at a price that meets factory made prices. Am I the only one to notice a distinct difference in aesthetic styles between British and French basses? Edited September 14, 2012 by nobody's prefect
