    Ah, a new addition to the Cheshire Massive - welcome!
  2. Bass Culture
    I suspect the grey/black one was mine too! Pair of Kent Armstrong humbuckers and gold Schaller hardware perchance? Tiny neck?

    Not entirely sure if I'm doing this correctly but I've posted a few short sound files for the bass here: https://soundcloud.com/marknewman63/sets/les-evans-fretless-bass

    Bump
  5. Bass Culture
    I'be had quite a few inquiries but no bites yet, so I'm dropping the price to below £800. If it doesn't go now I'll withdraw it in a bit and leave it in under the bed for a year or so, I think! So, if we have any procrastinators out there just drop me a line and we can see if we can work something out.

    BUMP for recent price reduction and special instalment payment plan option!
  7. Bass Culture
    Bit of interest but nothing concrete-type bump...

    [quote name='Chris2112' timestamp='1492877491' post='3283849'] I had a Zoot fretless years ago, had a graphite neck on it, which is what attracted me to it. I mostly remember that it had an unbelievably heavy body. [/quote] If it was the blue one, Chris, I think I may have sold it to you. The bass above is a much more reasonable - lighter, in fact, than I thought it was going to turn out. I think Mike's down-sized his bodies a bit recently.

    [quote name='prowla' timestamp='1492845394' post='3283560'] I like the fret lines - quite subtle. [/quote] In truth, having played fretless for 35 years - sometimes exclusively - I shouldn't actually [i]need[/i] fret lines. I do find they give me a sense of security though! And yes, these are quite discreet. I think they're the same wood as the body - a type of mahogany.

    [quote name='Rumple' timestamp='1492681917' post='3282224'] Some great recent additions to this thread - keep them coming! [/quote] Thanks for the reminder, Rumple. A new sibling for my fretted Zoot in post #6 - my new Zoot fretless MS. This is quite possibly the 'best' bass I have owned in nearly 40 years of playing: [url="http://s120.photobucket.com/user/Myrtle2014/media/Zoot%20Custom/Zoot%20Fretless/IMGP6669_zpst1lnfmmo.jpg.html"][/url] It plays and sounds every bit as fantastically as it looks.

    Took delivery of this on Good Friday and have only put it down since to sleep and drool. Will do a review on it in due course but for the time being I'll just leave this here for you: [url="http://s120.photobucket.com/user/Myrtle2014/media/Zoot%20Custom/Zoot%20Fretless/IMGP6669_zpst1lnfmmo.jpg.html"][/url]

    It's been a while it's time for a BUMP, I think. And to celebrate I've reduced the price further and introduced a special instalment plan for interested punters!

    My first fretless was a lined Aria SB900. Sold it and went through several years of various unlined fretlesses before ending up again with a lined fretless, which I just feel much more comfortable on. Don't really know why, perhaps simply because it's what I learned on. One thing though is that lined fretless basses tend to have the lines placed where the fret would be - which, because of the idiosyncracies of the tempered scale, is not precisely where the note is located. Higher up the neck the note is located incrementally further behind the fret. We're not talking inches, obviously ( ) but even though I prefer a lined neck I'm kidding myself really if I think it's because I'm in tune on the line.

    Can't believe I'm the first to post! Nathan's just bought my Zoom B3 off me and he couldn't have been easier to deal with - top men. Buy/sell with absolute confidence.
  15. Bass Culture
    Same as PauBass - Owen had my Korg tuner off me and I found him great to deal with. Top BC-er and a pleasure to deal with.
  16. Bass Culture
    The Bowzer's 'Station to Station'. Not many notes and great, great tone.
  17. Bass Culture
    Bump for further price reduction.

    [quote name='Graham' timestamp='1480275847' post='3183040'] Cheers I rather like the idea of tilted back cabs, but always wondered about keeping the head attached. [/quote] I discussed with the folks at Tricky the possibility of attaching a batten to the top surface, somewhere for the amp feet to locate in front to stop it slipping back, when I was speccing out a cab with them. They were most amenable and would, I'm sure, attach something along those lines if it was requested.

    To those who have asked about sound clips, I'll try to get something together over the weekend. Cheers.
  21. Bass Culture
    And SOLD.

    [quote name='GreeneKing' timestamp='1489916995' post='3260719'] I know from personal experience that Les makes superb custom instruments. I bought my fretted 4 from Bass Culture many years back and it was a special bass bought from a top fella. [/quote] Thanks, Peter - good to hear from you. Forgot you had the black Les Evans, didn't you? Superb bass, I recall. Hope all is well in GK world.
  23. Bass Culture
    And sold.

    Zoom B3 multi-effects unit in excellent condition. My latest multi-effects unit (there's been a few) and by far the easiest and most intuitive I've owned. Makes loads of really interesting and fun noises which - predictably - I've come to accept I won't use and can't really work into the pop covers I tend to play with the couple of bands I infrequently gig with. You people know what these things do, how enormously versatile and popular they are - looper; tuner; amp simulations; pre-amps; Drive, Reverb, Delays, Modulations, Filters and a raft of other effects - it's all here. Mine's boxed and with the manual, list of patches and power supply all present and correct. Looking for £100 delivered please. Cheers, BC.

    Bought this in haste just a few days ago and since realised I don't really need it! Great piece of kit though, still in its box. I believe it was an unwanted Christmas present for the previous owener. Does that thing where you can tune all the strings at once - as well as the old school, 'one string at a time' method fossilised numpties like me are more comfortable with. Well made, solid piece of kit which does what it says on the tin. Has a very useful cable check function too. Selling for what I paid - £20.
