Lest this FS thread is spoiled, I think Wayne's "Done" comment referred to a request from the mods (the post is now deleted) to re-size the picture of this rig (the OP included a 7MB picture). I don't think Wayne has bought it so its still up for grabs!!!!

I got this lovely instrument in November last year from SMART Distribution (who sell the US-sourced Eminences; apparently the ones on Thomann are straight out of the Far East). As used by the likes of Esperanza Spalding and Marc Johnson, its the removable neck version which is incredibly useful for touring - I used it on Rattlin Bone's mini-tour of Portugal and it assembles and disassembles in about 10 minutes. It comes with a hard golf case that makes it flight friendly and protects it very well. Here's the specs page from the Eminence website [url="http://www.gelbass.com/bass/bass4RN.html"]http://www.gelbass.com/bass/bass4RN.html[/url] Please click on the porn pics link in my sig below for a pic of me playing it at the 12 Bar club and a pic of it with my DB. Has very low action (wearing Silver Slaps strings) and comes with stand, gig bag and the aforementioned hard case. For full disclosure, it did slip off its stand and sustain very minor damage to the edge of the lacquer finish on the shoulder (no structural damage, just superficial). I have just had this touched up by DB luthier Malcolm Healey so its barely noticeable unless you know its there. I paid exactly £2,398 (!) for the whole setup just over six months ago and would be looking for £1,950. Must be collected (I am in London) as its difficult to post, given the size. I really enjoy playing this bass (its a lot easier than my 'real' DB) but I have been offered a very special upright bass and need to fund the deal, hence this is up FS.

Deposit taken, sold pending usual

Not heard back from the interested party (albeit he is overseas) so this lovely bass is still up for grabs as far as I am concerned - although hopefully the overseas guy will come back to me

Congrats on the sale. Think thats the most pricey bass I've seen sold on BassChat (although it sounds like it wasn't to a BassChatter). Stunning bass and the new owner is one lucky dude!

This is a beautiful bass in remarkable condition. It has a slim neck which will really appeal to those who like Jazz basses (and is in contrast to many chunky necked Wals) and the side markers are great for intonation. Lafrite was a very nice guy to deal with too. IMHO the Wal is the king of fretless (my Mk 1 is a keeper, along with my 63P).Sorry to hear that circumstances dictate you have to sell this bass and good luck with the sale!

Potential deal in works - on hold for 24 hours Its not certain so - if interested - please do PM me still
