He sure does! (He actually recommended me these basses) I would just have to slap and extra string onto this one for him 😉

So lets see if anyone is interested in this very rare fretless bass; up for grabs is an original Ibanez AFR A105F from the early/mid 90s designed by the great and late luthier Rolf Spuler. This design was all about ergonomics and playing comfort and it is the most comfortable bass you will ever play seated or standing. It also sounds incredible, I put Thomastik Jazz Flats on it and the sound is right on, singing and warm & full. Its got a magnetic pick up, bass/treble controls and piezos that can be blend in or played alone. The bass is in very good condition, always looked after, id say a 9.2 out of 10 with just some tiny wear on the back. The Fingerboard is in top shape, no weak spots or choking out, this bass is good to go. I will also include the truss rod tool and allen key for adjustment. Only around 250 five string versions were ever made and within these around 50 were fretless...so yes its a very rare bass. Ibanez is currently running a reissue on these basses with fretted 4 string and 5 string vesions. However these are made in Indonesia and have slightly different features. While being nice basses in my eyes they arent on par with the original ones. Fretless is the way to go with these. If I played more fretless I wouldnt let this bass go but its been collecting dust. Some Specs: Serial Number 515 made in 1992/1993 34 inch scale 19mm Spacing Raintree/Saman Wood Body Maple Neck Ebony Fretless Fingerboard Magnetic Pick up / Piezo Pick Ups Bass & Treble controls + Magnetic/Piezo Blend 3,7 KGs Shipped in hardshell case (its not the original one but does the job, and more importantly, is blueeee inside!) Shipping within Europe is no problem. Shipping to the UK is also possible, but it will be pricey. If you have any questions please hit me via PM. Thanks.

Thats a very fair price for a US Smith. Good luck with your sale.

Played this one at Tony‘s house, its all you could want for in a Jazz Bass.

I like your basses and furniture! Alexis is a top knotch dude 👍

SOLD and going back home to France

Anybody know what happened to Janaid Guitars? I remember they were all over the place some years ago...the look was never my type, but then I saw some demos and thought; wow these sound very, very good! Some very good pick ups they built. Also the guy who build them was a great player. Good luck with your sale!

Holy Smokes, thats the kind of bass Fred Flintstone would be playing! Its amazing, GLWTS Hugues.

Sold to a happy new owner and great player

No tone control, just Volume & Blend.

Its got a volume and balance knob for the magnetic/piezo. They are quite hidden visually but easily accessed. You can see them if you zoom in on the picture; they are in between the floating top and mahogany body located around the area where the controls would normally be.

A little bit of jamming on the UBass Fretless. Free shipping if you know what song I had on my mind IMG_2935.MP4

This guy agrees

* the weight of the bass is between 3.1- 3.2 kilograms

Up for sale is this amazing Leduc Fretless U-Bass 4 String Headless in pristine/mint condition. Specs are: Mahogany Body Floating Spruce Top 5 Piece Ebony + Maple Neck (center piece is Birdseye Maple) Ebony Fingerboard Leduc-Benedetti Magnetic Pick Up + Fishman BP-100 Twin Piezo Pick Up Original gigbag with foam cut exactly for this Bass One set of Labella Black & White Nylons each http://leduc.fr/index.php/basses/u-basses-a-table-flottante http://leduc.fr/index.php/infos/tarifs/u-basses This bass is as good as it gets in the fretless world. It can do the Jaco thing with the magnetic pick up or sound very acoustic and upright like with only the piezo dialed in. Balance and ergonomics are unrivaled due to the light weight, elongated upper horn and headless design (I will have to put in on a scale but my estimate is that its under 3.5 Kilograms...its the most light weight bass I have ever owned). Christophe Leduc builds some of the best basses on this planet. My main bass is a 6 string headless that will never end up in this marketplace but as I dont play much fretless nor four string and need the money due to the ongoing pandemic this bass will have to find a new owner. Its in absolute top condition/mint, no dings, chips, battle scars etc. and also the fingerboard has no scratches as this bass was always used with Flats or Nylon strings and the ebony board was oiled regularly with lemon oil. These basses are getting real hard to find. Christophe Leduc only builds in very small quantities now and there is a very long wait list if you are lucky to have one build. I am asking 2000 Euros for this one which is less than half the price of a new one. Send me a PM if you want some soundclips of this exact bass or have any questions. Sending throughout Europe is no problem.

ON HOLD

wow! very similar to the bass Dave Carpenter used to play: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=iINA9sjORCI Good luck with the sale!

I had this great bass up here for sale at the beginning of the year...there were a few people interested and a buyer who pulled out last minute...so I decided to keep it eventually. Its up for sale again as I need cash....so the only trade possibility right now is with a cheaper (precision) bass + cash. Specs are: Alder Body, Maple neck (gloss finish), Coco Bolo Fingerboard with binding (actually could pass as Brazilian Rosewood), Aguilar 60s Pick Ups, Candy Apple Red finish, Brazilian Rosewood Ramp that is attached to the pick ups via the screws and therefore can be easily removed...comes with a Fender Case. Shipping throughout Europe is no problem. Any offers and questions only via pm please. Thanks.
