Very beautiful bass ! 
I don’t see straplocks mounted on it, do you still have them ? 😅

A very trustable guy. And a very good bass. 
 

I’m surprised this bass isn’t sold ! Come on guy, it’s a 6 strings banger ! 😙

Hi There ,

 are these for 5 string basses and am i right thinking they are single and dual coil?

 what sort of preamp could i use with these ?

kindest regards

 zigggy

 

EMG Preamps are a very, very good option for these pickups. 
 

And not too expensive. 👍

Hey Ovi ! Do you have some sounds of this beauty maybe ? 
Thank you !

Is this the built-in tuner I've seen in some of his basses? Does he still offer it?

 

Yes, it’s a Wittman On-Board Tuner. 👌

Nice 400 years old wooden floor on the last photo, @Rollo. 🤔😂

Nice pic, @Hellzero. 🤣🐒

Yes @Hellzero, David King’s Basses are a perfect exemple of perfect headless bass design. 😊

It looks like Basschat is a real problem for the GAS when we see your list! 🤪

 

Lot of love for Shuker basses, there are very special and very well crafted. 

I find it a shame that this topic is dead because I imagine that we are all as sick as before, so I'm reviving it a bit because I need to confess! 😅

 

Guitarist first, I had already suffered the attacks of GAS, but it was really when I started to play the bass that the main and worse symptoms arrived... 🤣

GLWYS bro’ !

Nice bass! Is this the original neck?
Because he seems to be "swimming" in his neck pocket... 
That said, GLWYS ! 

I did a trade with Chris two weeks ago and everything went perfectly.

The bass arrived very quickly and very well packaged, and the communication was excellent. Indeed, I recommend Chris, and maybe one of these days for another deal ! 🍻

Some sounds of this MONSTER just here :

Just now, Hellzero said:

Now I need to put all the details for all these basses...

Strengh and Honor. 🤣😅

You forgot Leduc. 😍

GLWYS !

I don't know, regarding the Leduc, he still says he owns it here: http://www.alaincaronbassmag.com/my-equipement.htm
But he may have since separated from it.

Beautiful instruments. Alain Caron even played a fretless six for a brief while. 

And it's also a bass that he still owns, but I presume that there may be a tacit agreement with FBass and Alain to use his AC and old BNF on stage. 

I have some Leduc's basses too, and he's one of my favourite Master Luthier. Ergonomic, sounds and playabilty are second to none.

 

This is my little family of these wonderful instruments :

 

Leduc Modern 4 (made for Sylvin Marc)

 

 

 

 

 

Leduc U-Basse 4 SF

 

 

 

 

 

 

Leduc Masterpiece 631 SF

 

 

 

 

Leduc Maurad 6

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Very good sounding bass, and very ergonomic. 
GLWYS Tony. 👍

Perfect craftsmanship and very deep and powerful sound. And with Flavius, you can’t make a mistake.
 

So much better than a Gibson considering the price. Men, you should take it if you want the ultimate Thunderbird.

 

GLWYS my friend ! 🤘

Very beautiful bass, it seems to sounds very good too. 😊

GLWYS Chistoph ! 🍻

A little soundclip (bass only without any effect) : https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1F5n2T7HQpLh5H2gXLEBJO7cQYRYcXLAE?usp=sharing

 

I can take more pictures and of course more sound on demand.

 

For trades I am super open-minded, fretted and fretless from the 4 to the 7 strings, you can try me.

Rather right now looking for a modern American sound but I'm sooo weak ...

 

Do not hesitate for any other information.

Now, pics :

Excellent bass Flavius, used to be mine, it was a very clear and punchy sound.

GLWYS ! 

Thank you man ! 🙏
