FT/FS Noguera YC 8 Strings right handed (FS 5000$ ?)

alauth · #1 09-29-2009, 10:23 AM

Hi everyone !

I'm trading this amazing bass made by the luthier Christian Noguera (one of the most famous luthier in France, if not the most).

It is an Yves Carbonne model, with 8 strings and it is the only one right handed ! Other ones are for Yves and they are left handed.

I want to trade this bass because it is not the sound I'm searching for.

So, here it is :

You have a full review here (with many photos) : http://www.onlybass.com/html/test-noguera-yc.html

(sorry, French inside)

I'm not selling it for money so I'm not in a hurry. I would be very interested in a trade with an other bass.

What interests me is a bass with 6 strings and more.

Don't hesitate to send me a PM to know if I could be interested by your bass

I live in France and will probably send the bass with UPS.

Thanks for reading

Arthur

PS : Selling it, I don't know... Try to make me an offer, I will tell you if I'm ok. As I say on posts below, this bass is 7400$ brand new so I think that 5000$ would be a good price. (EDIT : now, 4500$)

uhh wow

I have a 7 string fretless for it

alauth · #3 09-29-2009, 01:13 PM

Fretless ?

Mmmmh, I haven't thought about it... Why not ?

I would be highly interested in a Zon Hyperbass too.

Pm'd by the way It looks fantastic

alauth · #6 09-29-2009, 05:23 PM

Just an information about the pricing of this bass.

As far as I know, this bass costs 5400€ (7900$) brand new. When I bought it, it was just like a brand new bass even if it had been pre-owned.

So I don't know about how much I could sell it know. You can mp me for offers and I will think about them.

Is this bass for sale.....? If so, you should post an asking price.

alauth · #8 09-29-2009, 06:47 PM

Yes, it is for sale too. But I would prefer to trade it... And I have no idea about a decent price. I would say 5000$ but I'm not sure. (7400$ brand new, I think 5000$ "used" would be ok ?)

Bump (my first one on Talkbass ! \o/)

alauth · #14 10-01-2009, 06:24 AM

Well, there is a bass that is really interesting to me, it is the Dingwall Z2 - 6 from Paul Slagle...

So, I think I could sell my Nog for about 4500$.

Who's interested in ?

Armbruster · #15 10-01-2009, 07:22 AM

Jesus. I wish I could just be like 'I'LL TAKE IT'.

alauth · #16 10-02-2009, 04:39 AM

I think I'll do a translation of all the specs when I'll have more time

(for those who could be interested in this bass)

alauth · #17 10-05-2009, 06:20 AM

Bump !

(translation is coming)

alauth · #18 10-05-2009, 05:52 PM

Ok, so :

Body : alder
Top : poplar burl
Fingerboard : ebony
Neck (one piece) : birdseye maple
Matched headstock

Crel custom microphones
Aguilar OBP3 preamp
Hipshot Style A custom bridge
19mm string spacing

Don't hesitate if you have any question !

And know, I could be interested in any trade with more than 6 strings (even 35" or 17mm string spacing

)

alauth · #19 10-14-2009, 06:52 PM

I'd love to trade this bass with a MTD 635 Wenge/Wenge or a Dingwall 6 strings !

alauth · #20 11-04-2009, 06:29 PM

No one for an amazing 8 strings bass ? Where are the ERB players ?
