REMINGTON STEELE 6

That the gallery stops, you know now...

 

The unusual outline, which gives bassists playing a solo easy access to the 27th fret, makes the body of the Remington Steele unique and the playability of this fretless bass a real joy. 

“When making the body, the front cutaway and the end of the leg rest allow for bevels,” Meik explains. “A curve is round and a bevel is flat, like on a diamond. Nothing would be easier than to work on the edges with a moulding cutter and then to sand them down a little.” But this simplified way of working wouldn’t look good in the end product and is thus out of the question for Le Fay for aesthetic reasons.

“Wherever playing comfort is required, the curves on all Le Fay basses have a larger diameter. However, it becomes smaller and smaller in places where the body becomes more filigree.

The unusual outline of the Remington Steele even makes it possible to allow the curve to seamlessly meet a bevel. “Bringing home” these contours to the final instrument despite all the various sanding stages is quite a challenge in terms of our sanding skills. 

We love these details, because they do justice to a luxury bass from Le Fay, and we love what we do!” says Meik.

The unique Remington Steele is a very versatile fretless e-bass of world-class quality. It’s easy to intonate and doesn’t sound metallic whatsoever. Instead it sounds broad, fat, and rich in overtones, and can do much more than traditional fretless tasks. For example, dampened hit sounds rear right up as if by magic. If you also want to add effects, you will embark on a breath-taking journey with your Remington Steele.
 

You want the Remington Steele? Then contact Le Fay directly or get in touch with one of the Le Fay dealers and try out your Remington Steele. You will be spellbound!   By the way: People used to think that resin of cherrywood dissolved in wine was a good cough mixture. Le Fay is strictly against this practice with a Remington Steele. So, in cases of cough, Le Fay recommends that you visit your nearest doctor or pharmacist instead.
