marcblum Posted October 17, 2018 Share Posted October 17, 2018 (edited) Whatever may happen to currency exchange rate within the next days and weeks: if you send me 2,200€ and take shipping costs, I'm your man. This bass has a mean growl to it. Intonation is great and chords play easy and sound clear, transparent and without mud. B-string has same volume as E- or A-string, lively harmonics and usable notes even in higher positions. Open pores and oiling make for great haptics. Weight is massive: 5,7kg Electronics work passive and active Bass has been played, but not much usage the last years. I did some oiling and adjustments.

marcblum Posted October 21, 2018 Author Share Posted October 21, 2018 (edited) Thanks for all the nice offers. I may consider trading with regards to high class fretless 6, say Vigier, Lefay, Kost and the likes. Open to offers, cash both directions possible.

Guest Marcoelwray Posted December 25, 2018 Share Posted December 25, 2018 Just curious, why you do not defret this one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marcblum Posted December 25, 2018 Author Share Posted December 25, 2018 Interesting thought. Never considered doing that. Maybe it's one of the few basses I have/had, which appears so well rounded in it's configuration (the other one is my Kost Sujet Standard 6) that I prefer to leave it untouched. Thinking further, I might say that Wenge is not the preferred fingerboard wood for fretless. Never heard of such. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Marcoelwray Posted December 25, 2018 Share Posted December 25, 2018 That's why it's interesting... Wenge fretless.... If you're thinking about it.... I'm interested... As a work of course... With Bubinga or Ovangkol inserts.... 🤔 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
