Ok, don't be scared

It's a fretless 12-string semi-acoustic midi sub-bass. From my collaboration with Jerzy Drozd.
Tuning: B (one octave below regular Low B) E A D G C F Bb Eb Ab Db Gb
I've used it in my album "A Life".
Flame maple/wenge/purple heart neck, ebony board, Spanish cedar body with spruce top, abalone purfling, RMC piezo and midi system Jerzy Drozd mag. Pick-up, custom lined, custom string spacing (17 mm at the bridge)...
The instrument is in perfect condition. I'm asking for 12000€.

If I didn't already have one I'd jump on this.

Such a beautiful and innovative instrument.

I wish you good luck with the sale or make a fan real happy ;-)

It would take me a lifetime to achieve something with it LOL

Sly,
if this is the same instrument I played at NAMM two or three years ago, you would be surprised at how effortless it is to play. It is a lot less intimidating than it looks.

I had the same opinion as you when I strapped it on, but managed to crank out some riffs in no time!!

I was at Namm with this instrument in Jan. 2011 and I confirm it's very easy to play.

Incredibly beautiful, and a work of art! It would be a waste of a great bass, but it could very easily hang in a gallery at The MOMA Museum in New York....

It also gives new meaning to the phrase "walking the plank...." Arrrrrrgggg!

Stunning instrument Yves. Innovative design. Why are you selling it? ...if I may ask...

Yves Carbonne · **Joined:** October 25th, 2012, 3:36 pm **Posts:** 42

I'm selling it because today I'm mostly playing the one I got after this one:

Oh, I'm interested. I have to run this by my wife, tough, but I need creative justifications on why buying this bass is a better idea than sending my daughter to college. . . :lol:

Beautiful bass (and all your basses, really), Yves. Incredible vision, and Jerzy has such masterful execution.

My goodness. Stunning.

I'm not sure I even fully understand what I'm looking at. How does one even reach those lower strings?
