wombatboter Posted November 25, 2009 Posted November 25, 2009 Recently I bought another fretless so I have around four fretless basses which is just a bit too much.. After thinking this through I decided that one of two of my Lefay basses can be sold.. Lefay basses are just too good to live without so luckily I still have the five string left. This one is a dream to play, has an amazing sustain and a powerful output although it is passive. The neck feels slim and is very fast and of all the fretless basses I have owned this one generates the most compliments whenever played by fellow bass-players. The action is very low without buzz and this makes playing and sliding effortless. The stainless steel-neck sounds really warm in contrast with its looks.. These basses cost around 4000 euros new and this one is for sale for 2500 euros (with a gigbag). Price is firm and luckily I don't really need the money but I'm trying to cut down on basses and I have enough options. Can be picked up or can be shipped. Feel free to contact me for any questions. No trades please, I have more than enough basses for the moment. Thanks Geert There is a youtube thing which Reiner was so kind to put on this own Lefay-site which features me playing the Remington steele 5-string (sound is similar to the 4-string) for a sound impression.

wombatboter Posted December 1, 2009 Author Posted December 1, 2009 not the most obvious or cheapest instrument for sale so it seems this needs a bump...
BASIC5 Posted December 3, 2009 Posted December 3, 2009 what a piece of art.... sounds wonderful too good luck with the sale! Ron
spiritchaser Posted December 12, 2009 Posted December 12, 2009 have a Christmas bump from Germany on me! I also saw the bass in the flesh - killer sound & playability. Oliver
wombatboter Posted December 12, 2009 Author Posted December 12, 2009 Thanks, Oliver (have a great Xmas too). I think this one will be hard to sell since it's only a small (and expensive) niche. Luckily there's no hurry and perhaps it means that it's bound to stay where it is :-)
Netballman Posted December 12, 2009 Posted December 12, 2009 Love that sound, even on a crappy youtube vid! Oooo if only I had a few grand lying around... ... and no wife and kids
leloupa Posted December 13, 2009 Posted December 13, 2009 Bump for a majestic Lefay and Belgiums best bass player !!
