[Hellzero]

Thinning down the herd, so selling the basses I don't use especially since I rediscovered my 7 strings bass which is a WARRIOR DM7 NT Signature Custom...

 

LEDUC MP 631 SF (the rarest one with 31 positions, legal 150 years old Brazilian rosewood fingerboard and Bartolini Quad coils pickups) !!!

The specifications :

34" scale.

31 positions.

2 mm action under the C string up to 2.5 mm under the B string at 12th position.

15 mm strings spacing at the Leduc locking bridge (not disturbing as it is a fretless and it allows for ultra-fast playing).

9 mm strings spacing at the ebony nut.

2 truss rods.

Gotoh tuners.

One-piece hard rock Canadian light bird's-eye maple super fast neckthrough with legal 150 years old Brazilian rosewood (Dalbergia Nigra) fingerboard, truss rods cover and headstock veneer.

Delivered in brand new Music Store semi rigid case.

Fitted with Fodera nickel strings (028 - 044 - 062 - 085 - 106 -125), but will come with a new set of D'Orazzio NP466 nickel-plated steel wound (030 - 045 - 065 - 085 - 105 - 125) : just fit them and play, no adjustment needed.

Waxed finish.

Delivered to Yves ARGANT on the 22/05/1990.

Set up by Christophe LEDUC himself.

It is the rarest Masterpiece (31 positions, legal 150 years old Brazilian rosewood fingerboard and Bartolini pickups) completely original and never modified.

Official price today is €5400 Euros (around £4600 GBP) and at least 2 to 3 years of waiting...

It's a 6 strings fretless bass with 31 positions so you can even play some Michael Manring with it.

The photos with and without flash to see the real condition, which shows only some little wear with the usual light marks of time :

And here an album with some more old photos with the now replaced broken cover for the truss rods (there are two of them) : https://photos.app.goo.gl/M6SGZU1QnEymRKqU8

Yes, I bought it back, and now I'm selling it again as I need to raise funds for a 7 strings fretless bass.  

Will trade it for a 7 strings bass with 16.5/9 mm strings spacing and 34" scale (this is the best match for me). Fretless unlined would be perfect, but lined or fretted could be ok. 😉

Don't hesitate to hit me with your proposals...

Beautiful - but just looking at it gives me a headache! 🤔😎
