And sold, pending the usual. 😊

A red one.

Hocus Pocus Red Bus...

I would prefer the last train...

First of all, the price is low, because I want it to find a new home very fast and I still own 5 Leduc basses, but don't play this one very often, which is a shame... Leduc Masterpiece Headless 6 Fretless (HMP 628 SF), considered by many THE fretless bass with a Brazilian rosewood (cut in 1895!) fingerboard, the original Leduc EL-6 preamp with sweepable mids and active/passive switch coupled to 2 Bartolini Quad Coils 90P46C pickups! This very ergonomic headless bass is built to sound wonderfully as a fretless instrument, even simply in passive mode, think Jaco who would have needed 6 strings... Christophe LEDUC is now retired and the last retail price for a similar model with the newer Leduc/EBS EL-5 preamp and the Leduc/Benedetti single coil pickups with the phantom coil was ... €5400 Euros!!!

Shipping to the UK is of course possible and included in my asking price, but with additional customs charges (VAT + other taxes + courier costs), as the UK is now outside the EU, just ask. In perfect working condition and in excellent condition, except a few tiny marks at the usual places.

Very light for a sixer! Action : from 1.5 mm under the C string to 2.0 mm under the B string at 12th position (can even go lower, but was perfect for me and it's already super low with a very straight neck) Will be delivered in a splendid brand new Gator ProGo series Ultimate semi-rigid gig bag (totally adapted to this headless bass). Non-smoking environment as usual. The bass has been fully set up professionally by Christophe LEDUC himself as he is a friend of mine and accepted to do it. It has received 2 new batteries and is now fitted with a set of Thomastik JF 346 nickel flat wound strings (33 - 43 - 56 - 70 - 100 - 136), 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 with a few tiny marks. Here is the link to the 21 photos in high resolution: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1605pQR66DussJzciB9xVnENCjocMmB0y?usp=drive_link Due to severe back problems (67% officially disabled because of it) plus left and right shoulders injury, without mentioning a painful tendonitis on the right arm, I'm selling all the basses I'm not using like this one. I've also considerably lowered the price for a quick sale. Don't hesitate to ask for more, but, please, before asking read my ad first as the answer is certainly already in it!

Oops, sold!

Given the size and weight of this magnificent and excellent digital hybrid piano, it has to be picked up from my house, in the South of Belgium. And for those wondering why I'm putting it here for sale, it's because a lot of members are not in the U.K. 😉 Casio GP-510 BP digital hybrid piano (Casio's top-of-the-range piano with an original Bechstein grand piano action) that I am selling because I no longer use it at all since I have a serious tendonitis in my right arm. It is in perfect condition, almost new, and comes with: a bench, a high-quality Lewitz HP710 closed headphones, a USB stick (installed) with the two CDs of the book Piano pour les Adultes that I am offering, as well as the book Passeport pour la Musique, the original invoice (it still has a year and a half of warranty on Casio, that is 5 years), the user manual in French, and the two music books. I'm asking €3000 for it; a new one, with the same accessories, costs almost €5000 these days, so my asking price seems very reasonable to me... PS: because it is (very) glossy black (Black Piano), you can see all the reflections in the room, including the ceiling, floor, walls and myself. It really is like new!

Urm, urm, this is the reissue of the original 1992~1995 model, which was made in Japan/Switzerland in close collaboration with the late Rolf Spuler (Avalon guitars). This one is a "simplified" version of the original and was made in Indonesia in 2019~2022 after the passing of Rolf Spuler in 2014, without the D-Tuner on the single bridge of the E string, not serial numbered on the front inlay, with different pickups (piezos and magnetic) and preamp, the single bridges are also different from the originals patented by Rolf Spuler. It's certainly, to me, the best designed bass ever, but this model is not as rare as hen's teeth, the original is. GLWYS for this excellent bass.
