I agree totally.... and it is Alembic as Alembic can be in respect of build quality, playability and sound... in fact I prefer the 2 band band EQ better than the filters....

Mahogany body - Quilted maple top 5 piece Maple neck with stringers - Ebony fingerboard Polyester gloss finish (body), satin finish (neck) Alembic pre amp with 2 band EQ and MXY56 pickups Cone Peghead (Adjustable) nut, bridge and tailpeace solid brass Scale 34" String spacing B-E 19mm, G-C 16mm Weight 5 kgs The Steinway of basses.

Tobias Basic 6 #867 approx. 1988 (totally pre Gibson). This is the real thing. Signs of loving wear all over and frets are at 75% but nothing that influences playability or sound. No buzz, rattle or hum. 100% original with the old TCT amp and Bartolini pickups that are nowhere to be found. Comes with OHSC. Prepared to pack & ship anywhere possible at costs. Solid flamed maple body wings 5-piece multilam neck-thru body with contrasting stringers (purple heart) Fingerboard Pao Ferro TCT pre-amp, Bartolini MTCC quad pickups Black hardware 24 fret double octave range 34" Scale String spacing +/-17mm (variable) 4400 grams

* Now with a short video giving an impression of the sound of the Noguera bass while my mediocre playing makes clear I'm not a fretless player hence why selling the beauty * Noguera (French master builder) 6 string fretless. Superb playability, low action, warm, 'rich' sound. Crazy low price: this bass is as good if not better as the high end USA masterbuilds. Look at the specs too: Body: old stock mahogany Top: old stock spalted chestnut with thick old rosewood veneer. Fingerboard: superb old stock legal Brazilian Rosewood (Dalbergia Nigra) Positions: 21 maple lined fretless headstock: 3 + 3 shape with spalted chestnut veneer Pickups: 2 original humfree Noguera single coils with spalted chestnut covers Pre amp: Noguera 2 band Controls: Volume (active/passive), blend, bass, treble Tuners: Hipshot Ultra Lite USA Bridge: Hipshot (also comes with original Noguera old sock rosewood with adjustable brass saddles which gives the bass a sweeter more 'woody' sounds) String spacing at the bridge: 19mm String spacing at the nut: 9,5mm Nut: bone Knobs: dark rosewood Scale: 34" Hardware color: black Truss rod: one (fully working, neck is straight) Finish: high gloss Year of build: 2007 Weight: 4,5kgs Strings: Fodera Anthony Jackson https://www.noguera-basses.com/modele_basse.php?serie_b=Harmonie&model_b=Standard Custom&page=view_photo&categories=Serie Harmonie&galeries=Harmonie Standard Custom&photo=1.JPG&nopage=1&ppp=6#galerie

Sadowsky NYC, green metallic satin (2018). Ash body, chambered. Maple neck/board with graphite strips, 12" radius, 1,875" nut width. Sadowsky single coil humfrees in 60's positions. Sadowsky pre amp with VTC. Pickguard Turtoise. Original softshellcase. Well... the works: just 3750 grams of pure awesomeness. Little signs of wear, just one small spot at the lower horn of which I will take a pic and add to the ad. Selling because I have 8 Sadowsky's presently (yes, I'm a fan) and decided to sell the cleanest ones I have in configurations I have 'double'. Presently owning three 5JJ's with maple board and this one is the cleanest and has the fastest neck too allowing for action lower than I need (G string 1,5mm, measured like Roger does.)

Come on people. With negative interest on your money in the bank there is an extra reason to buy this beautiful piece offering the best Fodera has to offer which will most likely grow in value while giving more joy than money in the bank losing value...

Beautyeeeh!

Thank you: I'm a lucky basstard!

It's a little bit under 4kgs

Hi, sure: I ad some pictures and will take the weight this morning and take a picture of that too.

A little bit under 42 mm

Fender did that to avoid confusion with the (inferior..) American Fenders...

Original Ampeg baby bass (mid sixties). Quite unique black one with an even more rare original ‘thigh rest’. New Bridge protector ordered at Ray Ramirez (not arrived yet). No issues. Plays and sounds perfect. The ultimate EUB for salsa and then some. Now strung with new Thomastik Spirocores (S43) tuned to EADG. Selling since I stick to bassguitars… well at least I tried!

Squier (Fender) Precision '57 RI '82 JV Series (Japan) with original white ánd Fender anodized pick guard. Sounds and plays fantastic: no buzz, very low action. Quote "Everybody came up to inspect them and the guys almost cried, because the Japanese product was so good - it was what we were having a hell of a time trying to do." Unquote (Dan Smith, Director of Marketing, Electric Guitars, Fender USA.)

Sadowsky Metro Japan (2012) MV5 Will Lee. Alder body (I think, although ash should be standard), maple neck/board (I'm sure). Sadowsky pre amp with the Will Lee mid boost switchable narrow/wide and 500hz/800hz. 3900 grams only on a professional scale (non chambered!). Low action, no issues etc. 'Just' a perfect Sadowsky. Comes with original Sadowsky rectangular soft case. This one is from the time no graphite strips were used yet. Maybe I’m a kind of educated fool but I seem to like the sound and feel of these older ones best! Selling just because I am reducing my happy bunch of (Sadowsky) by selling the configurations I have twice or more...

What is the string spacing on this fretless piece of freedom?

The Ales Vychodil is a fantastic bass really on all aspects: looks, playability & sound. The reason I sell it is because I'm snobbish and autistic and can't deal with differently branded headstocks in one rack... 😉

Fully agree. Weight is one of those things that matter and that are easy to be precise on. That is why I bought a decent weighing scale.

Maybe it looks like it but it is not even the slightest issue at all.. in fact the neck feels fantastic.

Great price. These are really really good.

Ales Vychodil AVPJ5 Bass (2019) with a beautiful and rare Copper metallic finish. Alder body, maple neck, bound (most probably Indian) rosewood fingerboard. Nordstrand PJ pickups, passive electronics, Hipshot bridge & lollypop tuners. 4,5kgs, good balance, comfortable to play: neck much like Sadowsky but smaller at the nut (close to Will Lee neck). Bass is in like new/demo condition! Trades considered/cash either way: a fretless jazzbass 4/5 strings considered too.

F Bass VF5 Maple 2012: N.O.S.

Much like me beloved Sage Green NYC: good luck on the sales!

Recently I had a chance to play this bass and it is monster really. The best a jazzbass has to offer and then some. Paul is a very gentle and trustworthy person: buy or trade with confidence!
