I'm the man, I'm the man, I'm the man, ... ;-)

PM'ed again. ;-)

What are the scale and weight ? Thanks.

Traded partially.

On hold.

Indeed. Thanks.

PM'ed.

Amazing fretless with fully usable piezos and what a sound...

PM answered.

New link to the pictures made today added.

Indeed, and you are the winner. :-)

I could do it, no problem, the difference should be around 75 Euros, but I need to check...

Non smoking environment as usual. Sounds very good with lots of mwah and the defretting job is very good (made by Christian NOGUERA just like the pickups installation and paint removal). The bass has been fully set up professionally and has a new battery as well as a new set of Dean Markley SR2000 strings (27-127) [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]I'll make some better pictures in natural light later, as it looks way much better...

Fully original and untouched which is also quite rare. Non smoking environment as usual. Sounds even better than a Wal certainly due to the better construction (I’ve owned a fretted and a fretless MK1). The bass has been fully set up professionally and has a new battery as well as a new set of La Bella Super Steps strings (45-105). I'll make some better pictures in natural light later, as these ones are from the previous owner and it looks way much better without dust and finger traces... ;-) [url="http://s1066.photobucket.com/user/Hellzero/media/Overwater%20Progress%20First%20Generation%202_zpswpzshpjr.jpg.html"][/url] [url="http://s1066.photobucket.com/user/Hellzero/media/Overwater%20Progress%20First%20Generation%203_zpspshx2urx.jpg.html"][/url] [url="http://s1066.photobucket.com/user/Hellzero/media/Overwater%20Progress%20First%20Generation%207_zpstfqi6q9k.jpg.html"][/url] [url="http://s1066.photobucket.com/user/Hellzero/media/Overwater%20Progress%20First%20Generation%204_zpszfjwscck.jpg.html"][/url] [url="http://s1066.photobucket.com/user/Hellzero/media/Overwater%20Progress%20First%20Generation%205_zps9cejeglo.jpg.html"][/url] [url="http://s1066.photobucket.com/user/Hellzero/media/Overwater%20Progress%20First%20Generation%206_zpspa3ihc3l.jpg.html"][/url] [url="http://s1066.photobucket.com/user/Hellzero/media/Overwater%20Progress%20First%20Generation%208_zps95t53bzs.jpg.html"][/url] [url="http://s1066.photobucket.com/user/Hellzero/media/Overwater%20Progress%20First%20Generation%2011_zpsmy1gezek.jpg.html"][/url] [url="http://s1066.photobucket.com/user/Hellzero/media/Overwater%20Progress%20First%20Generation%2013_zpsdmlskah8.jpg.html"][/url] Other pictures on request.

You can deal with Hugues in confidence, and this bass is a beast (the titanium adds a new dimension to the sound). Don't be afraid by the 36 inches, you won't even notice them... And if you are after THE one and only bass, don't look any further. GLWYS.

These are 860 mm scale, so absolutely not 35 inches. I own one and they all are with this scale having one or two trussrods. Time to correct...

Traded to a nice chap.

You forgot to mention the string spacing, which could help... ;-) And THAT is a bargain. Why is it still here by the way ?

On hold !
