2006 fretless 8-string semi-acoustic Noguera YC sub-bass

Post by Yves Carbonne »

I have been developing my bass models Noguera YC with Christian Noguera since 1997, after making the drawing of the first one in my kitchen!
This fretless 8-string is the second one I got from Christian.
Tuning : E (one octave below regular low E) A D G C F Bb Eb
Alder body, spruce top, one piece maple neck with ebony fingerboard, ebony bridge/tailpiece/pickup cover/thumb rest/knobs/string retainer bar, Noguera piezos, Crel mag. pick-up, Aguilar OBP3 preamp. Perfect condition.
I'm asking for 5000€.

I'm playing this instrument on the song "Sweet Passion" from my album "Seven Waves" (chords, groove and melodic parts):

Once again Yves, beautiful playing and a beautiful instrument. The designs that you and Christian Noguera, and now Jerzy Drozd, have come up with, are very tasteful. Unfortunately, ever since I sprained the first joint of my pinky finger I haven't been able to go beyond 5 strings. :cry:

Yves is the pickup a "wiper" style, or is it fixed?
