... or any kind of money. Frankly, they'd have to pay me to take it away...

[quote name='neepheid' timestamp='1358582417' post='1941596'] I will have one with me from the impoverished (and undead) side of the family, a resurrected BB450 [/quote] Is that the one I gave to Roland Rock? I'd be pleased to know it's back together, and glad someone could do something with it.

I bought Simon's FrankenJazz. Easy transaction, good communications, good packing. Nice guy, as well. Deal with confidence. thanks Mike

welcome

welcome once again to the ill behaviour

yowsa! Welcome aboard. My sister lives in Bristol, are you gigging much? I'd love to be playing that sort of thing

what KiOgon said

Two things, for me: flexibility, and the lovely noise - especially from a P-style pup. Flexibility because it can do anything a fretted can (though it's quite a bit harder, for, say, tapping), plus slides, trapping harmonics, etc.. (Not that I personally can do these things, you understand ) Practicing on fretless improves my fretted intonation, BTW. I recommend the Yamaha RBX200F as a starter, if your defret goes badly. (Also the unlined board can look very very cool, if that floats your boat. Example: [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/165919-veillette-paris-fretless-4-price-reduced-again-l1200/page__hl__veillette%20paris"]http://basschat.co.u...illette%20paris[/url] . And I don't even like blue basses... )

I looked at it and saw this: "[size="4"][color="red"]found this on the web, I can not say if it is for this guitar or not, but it looks very close.[/color][/size]" So, seller has a near-new bass, has a guitar shop, but doesn't know if this is the right description? Either he can't read, or he can't write. No sale.

[quote name='TimR' timestamp='1357076740' post='1917308'] Yes. I can believe that. All his best stuff was done in the '70s. Don't know how the 'Antmusic' and subsequent 'highwayman' thing came about, I suspect it was something they agreed to do to increase their appeal. [/quote] I seem to remember that nice Mr McLaren had something to do with all that?

I have a used Hohner Professional 5-string which is very nice (thanks Geoff . If you can find one, they seem to go for about £200.

Aria Sinsonido sounds pretty good. Fretless is better for the tone.

No idea about Cort Curbows. What I do know is that I have a Yamaha RBX200F, P-pup small-body lined fretless, which I picked up here for £100 (IIRC), which is a great starter fretless IMO. I recommend them. (Would I sell it? Yes I would.

How deep is your love? As low as my rotten technique will allow, basically.

[quote name='Fender_Greg' timestamp='1355647630' post='1900800'] I'm doing this all the time now! Ended up with a sound interface and an mxr m288, and a new bass....I don't have any money! [/quote] Me too. I have a daft number of basses...
