Marc,

They are the original pickups and this bass is a very early model made by the Sabic brothers (Aries owners). I bought myself some LeFay pickups back in the late 90's directly by LeFay.

By the way, Russ, the weight is 4.8 kilos. 😉

Nice farting unit.

May I add that the frets have been dressed just before Russ got it. Work done by the great luthier Christophe LEDUC. So unless Russ has been slapping and popping like a mad flea, they still must be in pristine condition.

Any photos ?

I had a Paul Lairat semi acoustic with a wenge fingerboard, was fantastic on all aspects. I had LaBella Black Nylons on it, so no fingerboard wear.

I wouldn't put round wound on non treated wenge, but it's up to you.

Was mine before. 😉

34 inches and standard strings spacing (18/9 mm IIRC).

Knew it.  

By the way Russ, the pickups are from LeFay, not all these strange words you wrote.

The herd is certainly the right word too...

It's called Bajadera because it looks like the Croatian muliple layers cake called ... Bajadera. 😉

Don't play it, suggest it.

I'm using the Ibanez set, because I have too many strings : https://www.thomann.de/gb/ibanez_4449eb6x_nut_file_set.htm?ref=intl&shp=eyJjb3VudHJ5IjoiZ2IiLCJjdXJyZW5jeSI6IjIiLCJsYW5ndWFnZSI6ImVuIn0%3D

I had the great honour to see Joe Satriani masturbating for 3 hours with some masturbating breaks by Stuart Hamm some 15 to 20 years ago.

They should have called that tour The Creep Show.

Ok, there was a bar, but I don't drink, so we talked very loud for 3 hours with 2 electricity cuts during the show.

And you know who cut it twice : the owner of the venue himself who was the guy who hired him. He said later that he did it because it was a real pain in the *ss.

The funniest thing is that according to these new laws, only the USA free taxes extra territories will be allowed to do the money laundering. And nobody noticed it. Strange, no ?

What about Joe Dart ? With very good reason too !

Here it is scanned right now. So i had this Status T-Bass some 20 years ago...

Should you have any questions, just ask. 

I'll put my torch helmet on this afternoon then. 😉

I feel your pain too.

What about the ABL ?

Anti Bagpipe League... 😁

I have the schematic of this one if it's the one with the dummy coil. I had to trace it (nice one) back then as I had problems with mine. I need to find it back, but I know where all my blue prints are.

Faster than me @Shaggy ! Well done. 👍

6.35 mm from the fretboard, that makes a bit less than 5 mm from the top of the fret. This is high.

The "Like" and other things on the right.

No more TLRT's... So here is one :  👍

Can't agree more. Space Ritual is a milestone and a masterpiece. I've been listening to it so many times I can't remember how many. Must still have the double lp somewhere. Had each and every Hawkwind lp from the start to the 90's. I even had the mini lp with Night of the Hawk, was a weird format for a vinyl... Sold almost everything I had when I had a serious money issue in the late 90's... That's life.

I still have some Iron Maiden 12 inches picture discs and some original lp's too. I know that everything related to Iron Maiden is worth a lot, but I have to decide if I'm keeping them. I also have some Jim Marshall signed posters and an Ampeg calendar with other stuff. Need to select what I'm keeping...

Luckily enough the people making these tests are not working for the pharmaceutical sector otherwise we would have some really dangerous drugs on the market...

These deaf (blind would be a compliment) tests are always biased and anti-scientific.
