ped Posted March 2, 2021 Posted March 2, 2021 Nice bass indeed - the fingerboard has a brass laminate which ensures a very stable and flat neck. Good price too. 3
wright/watt Posted March 2, 2021 Posted March 2, 2021 Absolutely beautiful bass in fantastic condition.. STUNNING. I think I need to go and speak to my Bank manager in my head!!! GLWTS🤟😃 1
itu Posted March 2, 2021 Posted March 2, 2021 No wonder this beauty is already reserved... congrats to the new owner! 1
Hellzero Posted March 2, 2021 Posted March 2, 2021 Excellent and rare basses. The bridge pickup is a new one. The "brass" laminate between the neck and fretboard is made of Delta Metal which is a brass type alloy, but not pure brass. 1

The early Arpege and Passion basses have the 'tabletop' shape pickup with exposed poles. You should swap the bridge pickups on these two so they both have matching sets!

No,im telling the other bass has the same pickups than mine,one is covered and other no.
Hellzero Posted March 2, 2021 Posted March 2, 2021 On your bass, the bridge pickup is a new one. The neck pickup is the original one with visible pole pieces. There should be two identical to the neck pickup to be fully original and also the charger. Here is one with the two original pickups. And the original charger : 1
wright/watt Posted March 2, 2021 Posted March 2, 2021 Ok Gentlemen..no worries on this front.. I knew it was not the original pick up when I purchased..All is well..Has taken me about ten years to find one.lol👊😃👊🤟😃 4
CookPassBabtridge Posted March 2, 2021 Posted March 2, 2021 I’ve enjoyed seeing/reading this thread so thanks all. Which reminds me, I need to add my new(ish) Vigier to the Vigier thread! I shall resurrect it later... Hope the new owner enjoys this bass, what a beaut. 1

And Mustapha is a very nice chap to deal with. Enjoy your new bass. 1
wright/watt Posted March 2, 2021 Posted March 2, 2021 Ironically enough Le Fay pickups in the Bassline Buster I'm selling, certainly fantastic pickups👍👍 33 minutes ago, Hellzero said: It's a great bass at a great price and the pickup is just the new version of the excellent Benedetti (my favourite pickups brand with the Le Fay), so no big deal.
