I'm in the market for my first five string after years of playing four. I'm not sure what kind of bass this is, but when I saw Dubtonic Kru live, i absolutely loved the bass player's tone (of course, his bass isn't the only thing controlling that, but it's a start...) Here's a clear picture I could find. THE BASS: HIGHLIGHTS AND VIDEOS FROM DUBTONIC KRU'S REGGAE CELEBRATION TOUR 2011 I researched to try and find it, but i was unable...maybe it's just a custom bass. Thanks!
It appears to be some sort of coffee table with strings attached to it. /sarcasm I think you're right that it's some kind of boutique custom. Good luck.
I'm 99% sure it's a Leduc, from France. You can see the inlay on the "headstock". Nice basses. Guitares et basses Leduc
not sure of the builder but you can see that it is a headless design.. the tuners are at the end of the bridge like a Steinbeger.
I think it's a Maurad made by Leduc. They're French. Guitares et basses Leduc {} Since it's French, it's probably fra-GEEE-lay.
What is fra-gee-lay? BTW...France is south of Italy and east of Norway, an area rich of dense tropical woods, perfect for making musical instruments. These are good basses
It's the glow of electric sex in the window! lol! It's actually a reference to a popular American movie. It's hard to explain. It's a fancy way of saying 'fragile'.
It's a reference to a joke in the movie A Christmas Story... but I botched it cause it was Italian, not French. Leg lamp - YouTube
There are a couple of really nice Leduc's F/S here. At least you can see the details. Luthier's Access Group : Basses In Stock
