I also followed the links you provided, and from there found this link to the patent:

https://worldwide.espacenet.com/publicationDetails/biblio?KC=A&date=19940823&NR=5339718A&DB=EPODOC&locale=fr_EP&CC=US&FT=D

Which was already in my ad, thanks. See the fifth paragraph. 

Check this, it's from my new U-Basse 6 fretless:

 

 

€2500 EUR: Leduc U-Basse 4 Fretless (UMM4 SF), "semi-acoustic" bass with a Brazilian rosewood (cut in 1895!) fingerboard, the patented free floating top and asymmetrical patented bridge (same patent for the both of them as they are intricated) and upgraded with a Fishman PowerChip!

 

 

This very ergonomic headless bass is built like an acoustic instrument in mind, the free floating top allowing for huge dynamic range like an acoustic instrument and thanks to the Leduc-Benedetti single coil magnetic pickup and the Fishman BP-100 twin piezo pickup coupled to the Fishman PowerChip impedance matching preamp you can get typical fretless sounds when you use the magnetic pickup or close to a double bass with the twin piezo pickup when EQ'ed the right way AND you can even split the two signals with a stereo to two mono output jacks lead allowing you to dial very different tones for each pickup!

 

Christophe LEDUC is now retired and the last retail price for a similar model (with a set neck and without the mother of pearl U.Bass logo) was ... €6100 Euros!

Non-smoking environment as usual.
 

 

The bass has been fully set up professionally by Christophe LEDUC himself.

 

 

It is now fitted with a brand new set of Elixir 14077 Nanoweb nickel plated strings (45 - 65 - 85 - 105), which really serve this bass and will also come with the set of Thomastik JF344 (043 - 056 - 070 - 100) that you see on the pictures for a different tone and feel.

 

 

What you see is what you get !

 

 

Look carefully at the photos taken from different angles and lights to see the real condition, which is very good with some marks, a few light dings and scratches.

 

 

Here is the link to the 15 photos in high resolution: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1bnKxlYTYgwRRH5br9WKqZrnoNNrOLUa_?usp=sharing

 

 

Due to severe back problems (67% officially disabled because of it) plus right shoulder injury (non-operable capsulitis from which, after more than 4 years, I will never fully recover), I'm selling all my basses over 4 kilos and also the ones I'm not really using like this one (here because I also own a brand new Leduc U-Basse 6 fretless made to measure) as well as some stuff I don't use. I've also considerably lowered the price for a quick sale.

So the OP asks a question about his bass, and your answer is that it's total crap. Yeah, I bet he's overwhelmed with gratitude. 🙄

Maybe it's about time to start to learn to read!

 

Moderator or not, I'm more than fed up by this total inability to understand what is really written and the way you like to patronise others!

 

And you are not alone on this parish: It looks to be quite standard!

And sold. 😊

Yep, and I confirm that these mass produced instruments are total crap, just as the fact that the OP will never come back for thanking anyone.

 

That said the OP is so clear that we don't even know if it's an Ibanez bass or an Iron...

I'm so tired to have to justify myself for everything when it's so obvious...

That is a bold statement HZ! Where are these stats? I am interested.

 

2 hours ago, tauzero said:

Where can I download the statistics from, and exactly what statistics are they? And do you mean bass guitars in general, Ibanezes in particular, or this exact model of Ibanez specifically?

 

Looks like the term statistics was misunderstood : I'm talking about the science, not the results of it.

 

In other words, mass produced instruments are not good instruments by definition as they are merely assembled without any special care, but from time to time, after a lot of assemblies, the right combination appears and, bingo, you have an extraordinary instrument that will be repeated again after a very high number of other assemblies, so statistics at work, just as simple as that.

I would simply add that these instruments are a pure lotery, most of them being total crap, once in a while there's an extraordinary one that ticks all the boxes, but it's simply due to chance, nothing else.

 

Check statistics and you'll understand instantly. 😉

May I add that being mainly a fretless player, most of the basses I sell are fretless and they sell very easily and always fast as fretless basses are rarer, but I'm a bit late to the party. 😊😉

Wow!! I remember those, I've never seen one in the wild. I don't think they made many.

And you are totally right.

And sold. 😊

One most of the time, two for faster licks, three when I use my thumb and three to five when I play chords (I'm mainly a fretless sixer player and yes I do play chords on fretless).

Congratulations @Andyjr1515, it does sound like a regular guitar, a bit drier, but it's definitely a guitar and a beautiful one too.

 

Aranjuez would agree for sure, if we knew who he was...

Sold.
