Here is an EP fully recorded with my Leduc Maurad 6 for its very typical sound, agressive and defined :

Have a good listening ! 🤘

Already showed here, but it’s my new Leduc Masterpiece Fretless, one of the most beautiful. The sounds is just out of this world.

 

I owned and played several very good fretless (Pedulla, Le Fay, Laurus, ACG, FBass, Status, Noguera, ESP, Takamine, others Leduc, etc…) and for me it’s just THE BEST OF THEM. 
 

And woods are so incredible on it, it’s a gem.

 

Thank you very, very much @Hellzero.

 

 

The woods :

 

Neck : One piece of magnificent Bird’s Eyes Canadian Hard Rock Maple

Fingerboard : Very dark Brazilian Rosewood from 19th century

Body : French Ash

Top : Wonderful Flammed Maple

Pickups : Leduc/Benedetti Single Coils with Hum-cancelling

Preamp : Leduc/EBS EL-5

Bridge : Aluminium Leduc with Brass saddles

Tuners : Hipshot Ultralight

Year of birth : 1998

 

Maybe I’ll make some sounds soon. 😉

Stop doing this.

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 :

GLWYS my friend ! 

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 ! 🍻
