Cool, makes much more sense now! I appreciate how the original control plate was an extension of the pickup, very unusual! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greenolive Posted June 2 Share Posted June 2 3 hours ago, DaPhonque said: Thank you Greenolive. Yours (or the one wich was yours before) is also beautiful. 😍 I guess it's a few years older than mine, the Design changed a little bit. also passive? Now I wouldn't want the fret lines anymore, but when I ordered mine I was quite a fretless beginner, and had to jump right into recordings - so the fret lines were really needed by me back then. My absolute dream would be to have just the same one with frets. Yes it was passive also , I’ve not got too much experience with fretless - but can say it was the easiest and best one to play out of the few fretless basses I had 👍 I’ve got 4 Leduc basses and can say I’ve got zero gas at the moment ( well always interested in Leduc instruments ! ) I also play some acoustic guitar 🤫, and would love a C2 - let’s see if & when Christophe builds again! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately there are not many Leduc on the second hand market - I wonder why And in that case I probably would let go one Stingray 🤭 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LukeFRC Posted June 3 Share Posted June 3 Thanks to @greenolive and this thread I started looking at Leduc basses, due to getting the names muddled up I ended up with a Lefay 🤪🤣 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaPhonque Posted June 17 Share Posted June 17 Good morning dear Leduc community, today is a good day, a very good day💥 Finally after more than 20 years my MP 524 fretless got her fretted pair. Now I need to get back to play 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaPhonque Posted June 17 Share Posted June 17 Thank you Tony 🙏 I love it already - but I need to adapt to the much wider string spacing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greenolive Posted June 17 Share Posted June 17 Great stuff Fabrice 👍 is it 20mm string spacing ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaPhonque Posted June 18 Share Posted June 18 @greenolive it's 17mm - wich is like my MP 524 But at the nut it is 5mm wider, I need to condition my small hands to that But the tone is, the feel, the balance - all is just perfect. As known with Christophe Instruments. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
