  1. Excellent value for the money... (and easy bloke to deal with) Hear www.myspace.com/fredericmonino to hear a jazz version of the Leduc basses... those are really warm Good luck with sale
  2. BIG bass... Did u notice ur price on ebay.com is 19 999 dolllars? (or best offer ^^) Good luck with it...
  3. Fine ^^ Those luthiers things are quite unique, and usually cleverly made to suit player's needs... U don't happen to have soundclips of this one?
  4. Looks nice... Ovie is nice to deal with too... where is this one located?
  5. "Doesn't work for my mate..." bump ^^ I just uploaded a song on my space with my 2 band NYC, "Oxydrogène" www.myspace.com/floraimondi , it's a live recording directly in a direct box, passive mode... come check it out if u wanna be convinced... Cheers

    ^^ Noguera was mine... It's a f####ing sounding bass (only the neck was too thin, and fragile)... Good price for this one if u don't have too big hands cheers
  7. I used to have a mapple jazz... I tried it and offered to buy it at low cost as it sounded real cool, really vintagish tone, not too heavy... I put barts on it and it still sounded pretty cool... Good value for the money, but not on the market ^^
  8. Good price for sure... It's the SX range isn't it? Definitely not enough 5ers to my taste though...
  9. btw, what's the switch for? Kill or active/passive? or ???
  10. I love those (proud user of 2), u can hear some on my space : myspace.com/floraimondi (Kassad and Arretes are recorded with them) I have to say they do sound like the bigger ones... Good luck with sale
  11. To the top... This is just stunning... Do u happen to have soundclips?
  12. I have 2 Fodera NYC One is a 98 with 3T sunburst, has a couple of dings on it, i take it everywhere... i bought a "spare" bass but i'm now trying to get rid of it as i LOVE the Fod necks... I also have a stunning spalted 08 one, wich i upgraded with the Pope 3 band pre, and this one is too fragile (=spalted) for small gigs, and too "decorative" to be played in most bands... but it has a killer B and is the best sounding bass i ever owned, so i work with it and take it to the studio (it's way more versatile than the other one, might be due to mapple, plus it's a 24 model...) Here is a pic of both, so u'd understand : [url="http://viewmorepics.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=viewImage&friendID=434942090&albumID=599210&imageID=15472530"]http://viewmorepics.myspace.com/index.cfm?...mageID=15472530[/url] The 98 is "just" a regular jazz, whereas the other has the butterfly one it... i don't fell i'm missing anything, it's just the way it is (last week musicians asked me if it was an Aria or a Yam )
  13. This is the right price for one of those... And they ALL sound lovely... Good luck with it, pliz sell it to someone who'll play it...
  14. It's a bolt on as i remember? I've seen this on older instruments, u just have to "pull of" the neck to adjust it... edit : oups, my bad, this seems to have reached it's peack, u might have to take it to a luthier so he would carve a bit more so u can pull it back in... My 2 cents Sunny England?
  15. u bet he has... (maybe largest in Europe???)
  16. Nice trade u should edit your title so everyone knows... Is it still french or has it gone abroad?
  17. I think the previous owner put up a youtube vid where he plays it... Lots of "jacoesque" tone as i remembered... B looked tight... Was it this one? (mp)
  18. I simply don't care... "Vintage" instruments are often too heavy for me, and i don't like broad necks any more (i'm a 5er player). Also some of the 80's or even 90's electronics are sometimes less precise then what they are now... I own a 98 and a 08... both are great players
  19. How would this still be here??? Come on guys 650€... I personnaly have my share of luthier's pieces, but if this thing isn't too heavy, it looks like a bargain (style A, pickups and tuners and knobs would go around 400 new alone ^^) Good luck with sale (how is the weight again?)
  20. Any 5ers? Good luck with those... beautiful
  21. Can't believe this is still here... I just saw one for sale in one of the Paris shops (humbuckers and buckeye burl top), guys told me they wanted 6500€ for it... Good luck with the sale...
  22. I tried both (but not for long)... Kingston is great for the money, i played a 6 string with beautiful top... bass was light, neck is quite big, well balanced and sounding powerful... Frets are a bit too big to my taste, and overall playability is good but not exeptionnal... Soundwise it's good for the money, but don't expect it to be a lifetime bass (lack of personnality and tone)... The US one are WAY better, much more like a Fodera NYC or Roscoe or Sad's... I personnaly don't dig the MTD tone but have to reckon it's very professional in every way : great to play and to record with, good B and even sounding from top to bottom, even if i think i get a more "personal" tone with my Fodera... Better a Kingston than a "mid 7ender", but if u can go for a US, you'll keep her longer ^^

[quote name='k-sad' post='757539' date='Feb 25 2010, 09:35 PM']Héhé, twin sister except mine has a butterfly U should put "spalt top" on your title, we quite often see Sad's, but not that often do they have tops like this one... Good luck with the sale...[/quote] You're absolutely right, i had forgotten about the swamp ash ^^ Good luck still
