Hellzero Posted April 20 Share Posted April 20 (edited) Lescot Fanned Frets 5. Gilles Lescot was a Belgian luthier who stopped his activities in early 2023. All woods, but the bubinga used for the fingerboard are locally sourced. I received this bass in a recent trade, but I'm not a fiver nor a fanned frets player. TRADES ARE WELCOME! NON NEGOTIABLE PRICE! Asking price including shipping fully insured with tracking number to your place in these European countries (ask for other countries) : Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France (excluding French overseas departments and territories), Germany, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxemburg, Monaco, Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden and United Kingdom: €1000 Euros (£875 GBP is an approximation and I will only accept payment in Euros)!!! Shipping to United Kingdom is, of course, possible and included in my asking price, but with an extra customs fee (VAT + other taxes + courier fee), because U.K. is now outside EEC. Here are the specifications : Body: 2 pieces cherry Top: lightly flamed maple including a black tainted wood veneer between top and body Set neck: 7 pieces maple and walnut with a lightly flamed maple tone block and a black tainted wood veneer Fingerboard: bubinga (16" to 24" radius) with white side dots Positions: 25 (zero fret) stainless steel frets (unmarked) Headstock: 3 + 2 lightly flamed maple with a black tainted wood veneer Tuners: original Gotoh GB7 last generation Pickup: original EMG 45DC Controls (all EMG): volume and tone Bridge: original ABM mono rails Strings spacing at bridge: 20 mm (slightly adjustable) Nut: bone (unglued) Strings spacing at nut: 10 mm Scale: from 81 to 88 cm (its a true metric design as it gives from 31.89 to 34.65 inches in imperial) Hardware colour: chrome Truss rod: one, single action, 100% functional Finish: light gloss Country of origin: Belgium Serial number: none Year: 2011 Weight: 4.520 kilos Action : from 1.3 mm under the G string to 2 mm under the B string at 12th position (can even go way lower, but was perfect for me) Will be delivered in a brand new Fame semi-rigid case. Non-smoking environment as usual. The bass has been fully set up professionally and is copper shielded in the electronics compartment (absolutely dead silent instrument). It has received a new battery and a new set of Ernie Ball 2836 Slinky nickel round wound strings (45 - 65 - 80 - 100 - 130), which really serve this bass. What you see is what you get ! Look carefully at the photos taken from different angles and lights to see the real condition, which is excellent, the 3 main blemishes being photographed. Here is the link to 34 photos in high resolution: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1ZUdADPffm1Iyloyk8vc50S8m77KC2-k2?usp=drive_link Due to severe back problems (67% officially disabled because of it) plus left and right shoulders injury (it's really painful to reach the tuners), I'm selling all the basses I'm not using like this one as well as some stuff I don't use. I've also considerably lowered the price for a quick sale. Don't hesitate to ask for more. Edited April 24 by Hellzero 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
