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!!

 

20260129_095222.thumb.jpg.670ca29e17eb7793d018239c3073732f.jpgTruly Phenomenal bass. The import duties alas, which came attached, meant that I had to part with my series 1 Arpege..Not moaning, very very lucky regardless!!😊😊👍

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?

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?
