    There is no best bass in the world as you will always have the same sound whatever bass you play, but I must admit the ergonomics will make the difference. In this case it's the Leduc U-Basse. And I used to have 3 Alfa 33.
  2. Hellzero
    It is indeed.

    Back to the tracks, the under layer is not brass, but already Patrice Vigier Delta Metal. And those early wooden necks Vigier are the best ones. Too bad you can't ask it in Gaumais and it's missing a string for me. Are you sure your donkey is also named Gary ?

    If you ask it in Gaumais, maybe. 🤣

    French is my mother tongue. Italian is my grandmother mother tongue. German is my great grandmother mother tongue. English is my studied language.

    Mit Google ist es einfach, aber ich spreche wirklich Deutsch, Englisch, Französisch und auch Italienisch.

    The neck is made out of wenge and maple with a rosewood fretboard. The wings of the body are made out of maple.

    Bonne chance pour ta vente, mec. Très bon prix pour une très bonne et très rare basse. Juste un plus de précision dans le jeu sans les frettes et tout sera parfait. Next time, I'll write in German or Italian.

    Looks like the OP has gone in the woods to hang himself. 😁

    Thanks, I love this. It's really pleasant to the ears. I reminds me of Erkan Oğur playing classical Turkish music on fretless guitar.

    Thanks everyone and extra special to @HumblePie as I'm a huge fan of Anthony Jackson.

    Christian NOGUERA can "fretless" it with maple lines for 135 Euros. I know the price as I already asked him...

The bass has been fully set up and everything checked. Non smoking environment, as usual. Asking price is £1400 GBP due to the mint condition of this bass. Noguera link : https://www.noguera-basses.com/basses_serie.php?serie_b=Expression Look at the pictures to see the real condition (under different lights to try to capture the real beauty of the woods and the craftsmanship), which show the mint condition of this bass... I've pictured everything as usual, but if you want more photos, just ask.

    Everything is clearly explained in the article linked by @Sibob. In fact, it took me years to understand why I couldn't stand the piano until a skilled piano tuner explained me what he was doing, that famous "equal temperament". From then, I think my brain accepted it, but sometimes it still hurts, like when a guitar player is badly playing chords, bendind notes in them without even knowing it.
  15. Hellzero
    No, not everybody, only fretted or fixed tuned instruments are out of tune, the worse of all being the piano. It took me years if not decades to appreciate the piano, and it must be played by a talented pianist, simply because of the tension in the chords. And no, I don't have perfect pitch, simply a quite well trained ear.

    They are only selling crap. Beware !
  18. Hellzero
    You are totally right. Add to that the fact that most people can't hear a quarter tone out of tune, only a few hear an eighth tone out and even less have the perfect pitch : your answer will then be complete.
  19. Hellzero
    She clearly says that it's intended for intermediate players...
  20. Hellzero
    Could say so, but I'm loosing my hair. 😁 Maybe see it as a tribute to his own hair "cut". 🤣
  21. Hellzero
    I was just about to ask the same question.
  22. Hellzero
    You can do the same on a fretless bass, I mean always playing in perfect tune. Alain Caron can play chords perfectly in tune on fretless. I've seen him playing the chords of the tune while Mike Stern was soloing (it was the classical trio without any keyboard player). It's all about accuracy and hearing. When you play chords on a fretless, you can easily hear if they are in tune or not. Well, sorry to say it, but I can. And I also play opened strings and in the upper register (private joke).

    I'm from Etalle ! That sounds terrific, no ? 😱

    I hope she'll never have to play some jazz or Klezmer music ! Here are the next 5 tips : "Always play in A on the E string, so remove the other strings !" "Never play fretless bass !" "Never learn theory !" “Never learn articulation !" "Never plug your bass as you are useless !"
