[quote name='Stylon Pilson' post='758312' date='Feb 26 2010, 03:36 PM']The seller hasn't stated whether it has a neck or not. For that reason, I'd be wary.

S.P.[/quote]

now that you mention it ,he hasn't said it has a body either

Not many of you probably played one but they tune perfectly !

Might be worth asking for a pic tho you never know

Played this bass ,it's very nice,lovely slim neck

EDIT; Actually i've played two Les Evans basses and they were both quality builds

Bought some strings from Andy ,excellent friendly deal+great strings too,many thanks
Pete

Sennheiser do a cheaper version of their excellent HD25's for around that price.I think the only difference is the cable doesn't detach like the more expensive version/or they're not completely modular. Think they might be called HD 25 SP.
Definiteley check them out

Walplayer : thank you. how long ago did you sell the AFR ?

Think about a year ago. The saman wood on mine was boring compared to yours though!!
I also had a 304 that was excellent too.

[quote name='Shockwave' post='751146' date='Feb 19 2010, 05:23 PM']He asked (publicly) for an opinion on his price I found it unreasonable (to me) and like others gave him a different figure.



However, if someone posts a bass for sale with a solid price (Not asking for an opinion) and someone criticises the price in public then that could be a warnable offense.[/quote]

Sold my 5 string afr 105 for £780 .They're a quality handmade instrument and light as a feather on a strap.
The bit's on the control cavity are individual piezo gain controls.
Good luck with the sale!

Hey MikeyD can't believe you're selling this!!!!!!!

Bit more info if it helps ;

Top is a non original spruce replacement ,this and the neck fix were done by a builder/repairer named Thomas Alexander from Newcastle and were done around 1959/60.He told the person that bought it from him it was a turn of the century student instrument. Can't remember what he said the fingerboard was ,was either painted beech or maple.
Good luck with the sale is a nice instrument.

+1 what a c***!

But definitely no need for anyone to feel a mug!!
If there is a positive side to all this ,imo it's that there's been some great points made about dyslexia etc.
Maybe a whip round for a relevant charity would end it all (not a pun!) nicely while everyones attention is on this.

Platon from Greece bought a pedal from me ,had his friend over here pick it up,all good,recommended and thanks Platon!!

I've dealt with Stuart twice he's the toppest of top blokes!! Highly recommended cuppa too :-D

phew! Think i've answered all pm's now on this ,sorry for delay. ON HOLD PENDING

[quote name='evoman' post='727132' date='Jan 27 2010, 11:52 PM']Is the fretboard coated? it looks shiny for ebony or ebanol. Are there any grooves in the fretboard surface?[/quote]

Not much string marks if thats what you mean ...and the string marks that are there polish out.Yeah i think is ebonol as mentioned earlier up the thread. Come try it out if you're interested.

There's 2 companies making them. The site that you've linked to is the cheaper Korean version. Here's the Japanese site.

If you search around they've got a gallery of the custom orders that they've made. This one's an 86 that I'm selling



[quote name='BBass' post='724770' date='Jan 26 2010, 12:51 AM']Surprised they still make them as I haven't seen one for years.

Just checked their website though (www.tuneguitars.com) and they make quite a few different models.

Prices seem pretty reasonable too...

[quote name='doctor_of_the_bass' post='719209' date='Jan 20 2010, 04:24 PM']These basses are superb! The fingerboard is ebonol, I think! We had two in stock when I were a lad working at Music Village - lovely! Highly recommended!
