Almost nil.  What does it sound like, can I play it (nope... i.e. is it too heavy, does it balance, etc.).  Occasionally, is it seriously cool (I have a Westone Rail :)

That's pretty much it.

That's a gratuitously silly shape.  Fabulous

(personal reasons due to the very bulky headstock repeatedly getting damaged on-stage) , Personal reasons?

Personally, I don't think I'm all that good at this bass malarkey.

Um, 8kg?

I really, realy dislike Frank Zappa.

And I went off Foo Fighters very quickly.  Some decent tunes, but a wash of hi-hat in absolutely bloody everything...  He's supposed to be a good drummer??! 

I wish.  I haven't got the space for even a compact kit, though.

Does the jack mount swivel?  I seem to remember it did on the Amplug I used to have.

"Ravaged By Mice":  new band name.

Yesterday, 'Enter Sandman'.  I have no idea why, I don't like it and have never listened to it on purpose.

All of that sh!te about L00K!!!! and suchlike attempts to cheat.  I won't deal with people who do that under any circumstances.

'6. This bass would grace any stage or studio and requires a professional to enjoy'

 

Well luckily that's me ruled out.....

Me too.  Thank goodness; I've already bought a bass this week...

I bought a fretless from Chris.  Nice guy, good deal, happy me.  I'd be pleased to trade with him again.

Done.

I think we can safely assume the neck is bolt-on.

There's a reason they are rare 😠

I reckon the balance will be off kilter with all of the weight South of the strap button and it's likely the headstock will whack you in the face if you're not careful.

(Mind you, if you buy that, you'll probably deserve it!)

I've been wondering about putting strings on a rake for a while...

Here, "unknown" means "sidled away before the blame could be allocated".

It's the price that gets me.  A mutilated bass with pretty much everything anyone might consider to be "original" removed, and they want five grand for it?!

Can't figure out how to edit the listing (Help?) but price drop to £650 collected. Can do shipping at buyers expense.

IIRC it's not possible to edit the original price setting - a software issue.

Nnnniiiice!

I have a defretted one.  My favourite 4-string.

(Well, reboarded actually.  By someone in Brighton, when philw owned it.)

I guess a clip-on tuner on the headstock would have some effect.  Might depend on exactly where it was clipped on, as well.

I'm going to try holding the tip of the headstock against the drummer.

I check this beauty every day basically, and trying to convince myself I need this, but then I practice a bit and I realise I'm not even close to being decent enough for a fretless 😁

My experience was that getting the fretless let me (made me!) become better with fretless.  I don't think it would have happened otherwise.
