Recommended Posts

For sale is my LeCompte custom six string headless bass.

This is an awesome bass, it plays and sounds great. This bass is in very good condition, it has not been gigged and I've just restrung it with a set of LaBella Slappers.

As per the pictures, the bass is currently fitted with Schaller strap lock buttons, but I will refit with the OE Dunlop buttons prior to shipping.

Price is [b]$1800[/b] (approx £1165) or best offer considered. This bass is located in Virginia, USA.

[quote name='jimbobothy' post='903758' date='Jul 24 2010, 03:28 AM']That is awsome type of bump! Does remind me of a piece of military equipment though (I'm thinking of some sort of high powered rifle!) The 'bendwell' bit is beautifully done, hope it goes to a good home!![/quote]
Not sure if we can use the term 'bendwell' (Rob Greens?) so let's call it a string bending reservoir, nah, bendwell, works better doesn't it?!

I take it from the $ price you and the bass are in the States?[/quote]


Both of us are, although the bass is American made and I was made in Scotland, but not from girders!

These days with PayPal foreign transactions are pretty straightforward, however if folks would prefer I have a UK bank account so I'd be happy to take payment in £s if that's easier for anyone.

Did u notice ur price on ebay.com is 19 999 dolllars? (or best offer ^^)
Good luck with it...[/quote]


Actually, it's not that big a bass! Here's a shot of it, which also gives an indication of how it balances.



I did notice it was $19,999 - just a way to get it to show up first in a high low price search.

Simple layout, but definitely interesting position, although it's easy to adapt to it and allows for easier adjustment when your open stringing.

Is this machine still for sale? Is it a 35" scale from the Zero fret or in total?
