  1. Amazing build as usual @Andyjr1515 and some clever ideas too. 👏
  2. You know, it's like the padauk fingerboards...
  3. After more than a year and a half in its company and as there is no thread dedicated to the phenomenal Le Fay basses, I'll start with my Le Fay Remington Steele 6 RHT CC CAP Big Block photographed on the mandatory 400 years old oak floor. Big Block meaning is explained in the specifications, so RHT stands for Right Hand Tuning, CC stands for Crazy Cherry, and CAP is explained in detail here: https://www.lefay.de/index.php/EN/most_recently/news-events There is a QR Code, because the bass as an embedded chip to protect it against theft. First, here are the links to Reiner and Meik DOBBRATZ creations: Website: https://www.lefay.de/index.php/EN/bass_models/overview Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/lefaybasses/ Old YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/user/LeFayKiebitzreihe New YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCCxNVglUiNZC9uw40NHgeLA/featured Second, the complete specifications (with the price, sorry I'm not showing off as this was a gift from my wife) of my Le Fay Remington Steele 6 RHT CC CAP Big Block: Third, the photos, of course : Fourth, a tune recorded with this very bass to hear the tone of the stainless steel fingerboard, which is between Brazilian rosewood and ebony (one take directly in the soundcard, passive mode, 2/3 of bridge pickup in parallel, tone closed at 70%, slight reverb and Elixir nickel plated strings): https://tonybertrand.bandcamp.com/track/i-wish-i-was-swiss
  4. This fan is dead silent and is a direct replacement : https://www.amazon.co.uk/Noctua-NF-A6x25-FLX-Premium-Quiet/dp/B009LEKGGE/
  5. And especially for @LukeFRC, here is the video showing how to change strings on an RHT model, which is fast and easy:
  6. The Dobratz brothers call this RHT for Right Hand Tuning, and the idea is to still have mass behind the nut and thus having a less typical headless low mid emphasis and sometimes too fast attack.

  8. Thanks for your comments Douglas. That said, I can't find any resemblance with my melody, yours being closer to the French national hymn in fact, when mine is closer to Words by The Christians, without being a plagiarism. 😉 I noticed the above resemblance when playing my tune, but the melody was so obsessive in my head that I had to play and record it. The tone of the fretless is quite close in both melodies (yours and mine) and the breathing (I wouldn't say rhythm as I try to forget it) are quite close, but not the same at all. Thanks to you I have the title of the album: Loneliness boredom of mere solitude. 😂 My approach is to show the fretless as it is, quite raw, for sure, but mere solitude is quite spot on, and I like it. That said as all the tunes will be without any overdubs, the balance will come from the flow of the music within these tunes. And you're not harsh, but honest, which is different and I appreciate it.
  9. Hi mates, Here's the link to Bandcamp where you can find the first track for an album dedicated to fretless bass only : https://tonybertrand.bandcamp.com/track/i-wish-i-was-swiss I hope it will be finished early next year... or sooner, who knows. I love ambience and repetitive loops for music and fretless bass is the only way to achieve my goal. Thanks for your comments, they will be more than appreciated.

  13. For those asking themselves how a stainless steel fingerboard sounds, it's really between Brazilian rosewood and ebony. This was recorded with my own Le Fay Remington Steele 6 RHT CC CAP Big Block, one take, passive mode, 2/3 of bridge pickup in parallel, tone closed at 70%, slight reverb and Elixir nickel plated strings.

  15. Due to the Covid-19 situation and severe back problems (67% officially disabled because of it) plus right shoulder injury (non-operable capsulitis from which, after more than 3 years, I will never fully recover), I'm selling all my basses over 4 kilos and also the ones I'm not really using as well as some stuff I don't use. I've also considerably lowered the price for a quick sale. 2012 Fender Jazz Bass Jaco Pastorius Tribute Relic (fretless, of course) ! ABSOLUTELY NO TRADES ! NON NEGOTIABLE PRICE ! Asking price including shipping fully insured with tracking number to your place in these European countries (ask for other countries) : Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France (excluding French overseas departments and territories), Germany, Hungary, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxemburg, Monaco, Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain and Sweden : €1550 Euros (£1375 GBP is an approximation and I will only accept payment in Euros) !!! New price is around €3000 Euros, if you can find one... !!! Shipping to United Kingdom is, of course, possible, but with an extra customs fee (VAT + other taxes + courier fee), because U.K. is now outside EEC. In fully working condition and in very good overall condition even if it's been reliced to look like the Custom Shop model. Here are the specifications : Body : select alder Neck : C shape one piece maple (nitrocellulose lacquer) Fingerboard : epoxied Pau Ferro Fretless : 20 postions with side dots and front dots Headstock : 4 in line Pickups : 2 Fender American vintage single coil Jazz Bass Controls : volume, volume, tone Tuners : Fender American Vintage reverse open-gear bass Bridge : Fender 4-saddle American vintage bass Strings spacing at bridge : 20 mm Nut : synthetic bone Strings spacing at nut : 9.5 mm Knobs : Fender knurled flat-top Scale : 34 inches Hardware colour : nickel/chrome Truss rod : one single action vintage-style butt adjust Finish : 3-colour Sunburst (nitrocellulose lacquer) Land of craftsmanship : U.S.A.

Non-smoking environment as usual. I'm only selling this bass because I'm thinning down the herd for the reasons mentioned above, and I also own a second Jaco fretless... 🤦‍♂️ The bass has been fully set up professionally. It is fitted with a broken in set of Rotosound RS66LD stainless steel strings (45 - 65 - 80 - 105) that really serve the bass (think Jaco). The bass has been professionally reliced and distressed long ago. What you see is what you get ! Look at the photos taken under different angles to see the real condition, which is used and reliced. Link to the Fender model description : https://www.fender.com/en-BE/electric-basses/jazz-bass/jaco-pastorius-jazz-bass/0196208800.html Here is the link to the 43 photos in high resolution : https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1QyH_jQb8ko6LnK0x6zQV5WC69X2-4Dvi?usp=sharing Don't hesitate to ask for more.
  16. So, all animals are equal but some animals are more equal than others.
  17. If the B***** thing hadn't come in, I would have bought it back as it's simply one of the best lightweight combo on battery on the market. Looks like somebody is going to have it. 🙂👍
  18. You are not going against the grain at all @biro as the EMG's (especially the X series) are indeed terrific sounding on a fretless, but for something different from the usual mwah and/or Jaco tone most of us are after.
