I love these but sadly it would kill my back in an instant. Fabulous though.

Wow! and Wow again! That is stunning.

I have to admit that I've never seen one before.

Yep, she is not the lightest one, but hangs well balanced on the body. You don't feel the weight.

Like the man said, I've also admired these since the first time I saw one reviewed but weight is weight to us owld fellas and this would kill me!

Good luck with the sale though.

Absolutely gorgeous, I love how organic all that carving is, everything flows into everything else and the matt finish just adds to the overall effect. If this was a 5 with those Alembic Fatboys, I'd be looking at my bank account and asking myself about how much pain I could take until my next pay packet...

[Geddys nose]

Oh very nice indeed, use to drool over these on German Ebay I'd love one.

Many years ago I heard one of these at the Frankfurt Music Fair in Germany and I loved the sound and the looks of these basses.. I always told myself that I would get one of these and together with a Steinberger L2 it has always been on my acquisition list. I already own two other Lefays and these are amazing basses..
Just when I thought I have more than enough basses this one shows up. You're making it hard :-)
Is there a way you can use normal (non-double ball) strings with those tiny screws that block the strings an the end of the neck ? Where are you based ? I'm from Belgium and your name and the bass suggest that you might be German.

[lozbass]

That is something really special - I'm a massive fan of the aesthetic. I hope it finds a good and loving home (what on earth could replace it?)

I am trying to remember an album I have with one of these on it with some big name player. Can't quite remember!!

Are the Alembic electronics original? Lovely looking thing!

Hi, yes that's all original Alebmic electronics.

cheers. jogi

Nice. I wonder if LeFay used Alembic electronics in all their original basses before making their own?

Very nice and good luck!
