Just recently managed after many, many years, of which trying to find, let alone own an Arpege series 11 fretless with a Delta metal fingerboard..Obtained one!!

Lovely - what's the little extra bit on the cavity cover? And the extra strap pin - did someone play it upside down? Or maybe with one of those waist straps?

Low mids / high mids

   frequency may be changed by jumpers on the board

Bass / treble

Switch to toggle bass center frequency

keep us posted on how well it works

Did not dive deep into this EQ yet.
Current feeling is that it puts a strong emphasis on the treble side and that it sounds somewhat cold and analytical.

Bridge PU, push (OK, turn) bass to the max, cut treble a lot. Middle according to your personal taste. How does that sound?
