Im just wondering why there is no interest, yet it looks to be a stunning instrument!! There must be some reason, anyone? Cheers!

bassmanady Posted August 10, 2008 Share Posted August 10, 2008 Interesting design of the fingerboard,or not,as the case maybe..possibly why no interest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thedontcarebear Posted August 10, 2008 Share Posted August 10, 2008 That's been on ebay a few times, although like it said it cost a lot to buy when new, it's from a relatively unknown luthier so won't ever sell for much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
niceguyhomer Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 Greene King has a Les Evans bass - I've played it and it was a fine instrument. Perhaps Peter will chime in next time he logs in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rayman Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 Peters' Les Evans bass is very nice. Very thin neck if that's your bag, well built too. I guess it's just not a name people know. Plus, I think decent pictures are a must, and the ones in that link aren't exactly brilliant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreeneKing Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 Peter chiming in having just got back from my hols. Les Evans basses are quite amazing really, extremely well made in fact built to survive a nuclear holocaust more like. My LE is a real contrast in design being the most sexy smooth lines possible in the body and neck joined with an industrial 6 bolt fixing. It was originally for sale (only because basses too many have I) but I'm presently holding it until the original owner has the funds to buy it back. They are high quality instruments, made in Liverpool. Not much seems to be known about Les Evans himself. Mark (Bassculture) might like to step in and educate us all?
