The Fairplay fretless series was inspired by the Pedulla Buzz series with a quite similar body and a neck through construction. Thanks to the (now) full EMG electronics, this bass is very versatile with a Jaco reminiscent sound (even if it’s a Macassar ebony neck through). Listen to the small quick made sound clip (bass direct in the Steinberg UR-RT2 sound card, Cubase Pro 10 and exported to WaveLab Pro 9.5) to hear how it sounds. This bass has been fully shielded and is dead quiet. It’s close to a Noguera Expression Plus Custom as Christian doesn’t make neck through basses these days, so you’ll get mine for half the new price…

 

Thanks to the Res-O-Lite tuners, it’s perfectly balanced.

 

The bass has been fully set up professionally by Christophe LEDUC. It has a new battery, new output jack and has been fitted with a brand-new set of D’Addario EXL165-6 nickel round wound strings (30 - 45 - 65 -85 -105 -135).

What you see is what you get !

 

Look at the pictures taken under different angles to see the real condition : some very few marks, due to the age, but nothing serious at all. The pickups have now real foam under them and what looks like a ding near the output jack is a wood drawing reflecting the light... The correct closest colour is the one on the 2nd to 7th photo.

 

Don't hesitate to ask for more.

I'd love this

[Hellzero]

I understand Tony. I would have kept it, but I'm only playing the Yves Noguera Signature 8 Fretless since I bought it, so I'm letting this Fairplay go at a real fair-play price. And I'm still wanting to have just the minimum of basses needed, hence reducing the herd.

[arpi]

the YC6 is still mine since I bought it from Rai back in 2011, if I wouldn´t have a very nice Noguera Expression 6string Fretless I would buy this one. Noguera Basses are superb.
