    Not much love for the humble Yamaha...

    Had to go to the bottom of page 3 to find this. Out you come- back to the top

    Price drop to £111! Get it while it's hot...

    I think it's been 36hrs...

    I bought this from here a couple of months ago as an experiment in piccolo strings. It worked so well, I have bought a 6 string (I missed the normal range of notes, and I'm only allowed 1 fretted bass). Hence this is for sale... It's basically new. I can't find one mark on it. It's light, balances well, has a low action, and is properly intonated. 40mm at the nut Passive VVT PJ pickups It does everything you could reasonably expect it to do, and more. Really good quality instrument. Comes with a new Stagg gigbag, and delivered to your UK doorstep for the princely sum of £112.

    ... and are we talking vvt or vbt?

    What's the width at the nut? Precision or Jazz type neck?

    Pm sent, in hope...

    You're very welcome. I've tried several fretless basses since buying the Portamento, including a wonderful Zon from BD. The Ibanez has beaten them all, in terms of tone, playability, and sheer reasonableness (price)

    I treat it like a passive instrument, leave it flat, just cut the treble a bit when on the back pickup. I also took the finish off the back of the neck, and I think I might be convinced it improved the tone. Certainly improved the feel, anyway...

    I have the Portamento, and I think it's the bee's knees! Strung with La Bella black nylon tape wounds, the piezo absolutely sings, and those strings sound great with the Bartolini's, too. A hugely versatile instrument. The neck pup sounds just like a Precision, the bridge pup sounds just like a Jazz, and the two together are tone nirvana! Buy one, go on, do.

    +1 for the Portamento. I've put LaBella black nylon tapes on mine, and it sounds PHENOMENAL...

    a hopeful little bump...
  18. Sambrook
    nbd thread on the Maruszczyk coming soon, meanwhile an echoing little bump
  19. Sambrook
    a gentle nudge to the top...
  20. Sambrook
    My rather wonderful Maruszczyk fretless has now arrived, so somebody please buy my Conklin! It is indeed a huge amount of bass for not much money...

    Here's the sofa shot for mine. Just waiting for payment to clear...
  22. Sambrook
    bump to reflect the lowered price...
  23. Sambrook
    bumping into the previous bump...
  24. Sambrook
    and another rather sad little bump...
  25. Sambrook
    And a bump to go with a title change...
