The sounds is just out of this world. I owned and played several very good fretless (Pedulla, Le Fay, Laurus, ACG, FBass, Status, Noguera, ESP, Takamine, others Leduc, etc…) and for me it’s just THE BEST OF THEM. And woods are so incredible on it, it’s a gem. Thank you very, very much @Hellzero. The woods : Neck : One piece of magnificent Bird’s Eyes Canadian Hard Rock Maple Fingerboard : Very dark Brazilian Rosewood from 19th century Body : French Ash Top : Wonderful Flammed Maple Pickups : Leduc/Benedetti Single Coils with Hum-cancelling Preamp : Leduc/EBS EL-5 Bridge : Aluminium Leduc with Brass saddles Tuners : Hipshot Ultralight Year of birth : 1998 Maybe I’ll make some sounds soon. 😉 Beautiful, congrats!! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kev Posted April 11, 2023 Share Posted April 11, 2023 Nice work dude! Sounds great, and what a looker too! Must admit, after listening to the intro of the first track, I did have a quick glance at who mixed the track and did a little smile to myself Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kev Posted April 20, 2023 Share Posted April 20, 2023 Took advantage of a rare bit of garden sunshine for a quick snap. To suit my preferred playing style/position, I've added a dummy pickup ramp made of ebony I had made by Chris at Alpher Instruments a while ago that I never used. Works well 🙂 (don't panic, the screws are part of the aesthetic, it's held down with tape 😉) 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hellzero Posted May 19, 2023 Author Share Posted May 19, 2023 Try to put the strap the other way round on the upper horn, to the front not the rear, I always found the bass was better balanced this way. 😉 Nice photo, that said. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Misdee Posted May 19, 2023 Share Posted May 19, 2023 I love the shape of these basses. A very stylish design all round. They look like beautifully crafted instruments. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would have agreed with you without trying it as it looks like it would pull the body away from you going under, but I actually found going over knocked the balance a bit off for me. Not sure if its just the strap or the way I wear it, but it was tugging the top horn up too much, much preferred it this way. Wish I could have it the other way, as it would mean I could use the same strap on both basses! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kev Posted May 31, 2023 Share Posted May 31, 2023 Another excuse for a snap of this beauty, but I posted a thread others may have missed looking for a high quality case that fits headless basses well, and can confirm that the Mono Vertigo guitar case is a perfect fit for mine. Expensive but can highly recommend! 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's also its sibling fretted version that was sold for peanuts a few months ago, but needed a lot of work that João Godinho in Luxemburg did under Christophe Leduc remote supervision.
