Very classy looking! I've never heard of it before. Hope you get a lot of blown away miles out of it.
Beautiful. Love the graphics too.

wow, that's a real boutique setup... congrats 
LeSuire has been mentioned in German bass media, but I haven't seen much on Talkbass.
Avalanche head 300W, (3xECC83, 2xECC82, 6xKT88), Auto-bias for each individual power amp tube
and weight 10,5kg - 115 and 210 cabs, both weigh each 14.2kg.
That must be the most light weight all tube full stack setup available today.
But it did cost a pretty penny
Will we see the rig on stage with David Garrett?

With David Garrett I actually played guitar in the band setting and Vimana in the trio setting. Sometimes I subbed on bass.wow, that's a real boutique setup... congrats

The new bassplayer is Vincen Garcia
Let's hear it because we all know you're a badass player!
As soon I have the chance I will, can’t do it at home, too loud
What made you choose the Le Suire against the classics like Ampeg SVT or other modern alternatives like the Jad Freer Volta?
Cabs look like 2 x AR2a on steroids.
(OTOH I guess this reply should go to the Tell Me You're Old Without Stating Your Age thread. Or whatever the name was. I can't remember.)

That head and cabs look very cool. Specs seem great. Would love to have one of those myself.
Love the graphics too! I can't believe the 10.5 kg weight? How is that possible? What kind of output transformers does its use? Congrats!!
Yes, I h
I decided in the first 10 seconds of playing it.
ad a gig in the Olympiahalle in Munich which is near leSuire, so he came over with a set.
I decided in the first 10 seconds of playing it.
I wanted something not too heavy but full tube.
I believe this is the only existing example of that.
Weight reduction is mainly due to the use of SMPS (Switched Mode Power Supply)
The builder told me his job is making power transformers for huge factories. His hobby is playing bass. So he designed a lightweight alternative.
Well, there's also Jad Freer Volta, also using SMPS. It weights 13 kg for 200W, so the power/weight ratio is not exactly as good, but nothing to do with the old irons. Jad Freer is famous for its Capo pedal and Sisma hybrid amp.
Aha, didn’t know that one. Looks nice, but not as nice as the avalanche
Beautiful! I love the styling (reminds me of the old Selmer Treble N Bass) and love the Gold grill cloth.
Congrats!!
