    Could you give us the usuals, like year of making, scale, woods used, weight, strings spacing at nut and bridge and action at 12th fret under the B and C ? The pickups are the terrific French Benedetti's, I know, but are they single coils or humbuckers ? Does it come with the case ?

    Macs crash as often as Windows based machines, Apple had simply a way better marketing service : they even convinced us that we all needed useless iPads...

    Mike bought my EBS ValveDrive P1. Everything went fine from the start to the end. Great communication and ultra fast payment. You can deal in confidence with Mike.

    Bought the 8 Gotoh GB 707 from Davide. Great communication, very well packed (nice box, by the way) and sent immediately. What else ? Un vero doppio ristretto !

    And what about Percy Jones, Mick Karn, to name two old fretless active bass player and Alain Caron to name a modern one or even Alfonso Johnson. Some of them played fretless when someone was still practicing sport and not playing bass... Try to boost the 800 Hz zone on your fretless with your on board or out board preamp and you'll hear that your fretles bass is singing and growling...

    To me, even if I'm back on an old AKAI DPS16, the best intuitive DAW is Nuendo coupled to Wavelab Pro, but the cost is prohibitive. Used them both when I had my little recording studio, with Reason for "electronic" parts and the results were simply top of the cream, but you have to own an ultrafast PC with an ultra performant sound card and top notch monitors... So, certainly the best pack, but the total cost will be, say, out of the real world.

    Hum, with a Baxandall EQ you "cut" the mids when boosting the highs and lows which is THE sensible point of a fretless, the place to create the sound. If you want to have your fretless really singing, the key frequency is 800 Hz, so it's better to have a 3 bands EQ with an 800 Hz boost because a 2 bands EQ Baxandall type won't do the job here...

    It's not really fretless shopping as you didn't buy anything. The problem with fretless basses is to find some to try in shops, but you were lucky, I would say. If you want to buy a very good bass, just try the second hand luthiers basses, they are the best you will find as they resell for peanuts. Be patient, look here on BassChat and everywhere else and you'll get the right one.

    Vintage market is becoming the "try the highest price tag possible" place and without any arguable reason. It's not because it's old that's it's better on the contrary... To me it's really worth 1/100 of this stupidly high price, these guitars are as close to perfection as a Wishbass is.

    Cellos are intended to be played with a bow at first and every bowed instrument is made that way. A flat table instrument used with a bow will create so much low end vibration that the table would explode or at the best deglue. It's the same for double bass which was originally intended to be played bowed as all the quatuor instruments as they are called. Now you've got the explanationfor the archtop construction.

    It's this one designed to use both types of strings NS Design or regular acoustic ones : http://leduc.fr/index.php/series-l/basses-de-la-serie-l/164-l-09-la-u-contrebasse-moai

    Yes, had the big version EU with magnetic pickups a long time ago. Putting T.I. Spirocore on it will dramatically improve the sound, but I'm quite sure you'll have to put 3/4 on it. My actual Leduc 6 strings EUB has a regular 3/4 scale and it's a 105 cm or 41,34 inches scale (yours is 106 cm or 41,73 inches, so the same). I think you better ask Ned Steinberger directly to be sure about the type of real acoustic strings you can put on it as the money involved here is not a few quids...

    Like it a lot, very nice job, but having an acoustic sounding loud enough can't be achieved with an archtop which will be more focused on mids, that was your only "mistake", even if I don' t like the word in this case. Put a Fishman BP100 in (on will be more appropriate) it and you'll have a very very good sounding bass, I can swear it as your conception will ccorrect the default of the BP100 which it's tendency to be a bit muddy.

    Maybe answering the emails could be great...
