FS/FT Leduc Masterpiece MP624 6 Strings - *SOLD* £2150 Metz

[Rollo]

Hello everyone !

 

For sale/trade a magnificent Leduc Masterpiece 624 from 1992, with the famous Brazilian Rosewood fingerboard from 1895.
This bass is sublime, the neck is nicely flamed, and the ash body grain has a truly original "design".
This instrument is in excellent general condition, there are just a few light marks on the varnish, but nothing serious and the frets are not marked.
The neck is healthy and straight, no complaints.

 

Everything is original on this beautiful Leduc, it is one of the very first with the EL-5 electronics and the phantom coil between the two Benedetti pickups.

I am parting with it with regret, but choices have to be made.

I can send the bass wherever you want, I'm used to it.
