    How common are lined fretless Precision basses?

    in Bass Guitars

    Posted

    You could try these people

    I have a lovely ash Jazz bass body of theirs - goes very well with a Status unlined P-bass neck.........

    I would recommend trying the unlined P-bass neck too - just keep with it - play along to lots of familiar tracks at first, then try it in rehearsal - believe me - in no time at all things will start to gel.

    Sure - should be around - drop me a pm nearer Easter

    You can try my Jazz bass with a new fretless Status 'P' neck - it's yummy

    Great stuff Stewart,

    Glad your happy with the fretless neck - looks to be a fine combination.

    Just keep on at it. Play along with lots of records - not necessarily with fretless players.

    Do lots of gigs if you can too - the neck will become familiar in no time at all.

    All the best

    Sold Stewart a fretless Fender Japan P-bass neck - paid very promptly and enjoyed good communications with him throughout the transaction.

    I have no problems in recommending him to any prospective buyer/seller.

    All the best - hope your fretless P-bass project goes smoothly - don't forget the piccies !

    Fender Japanese Precisions??

    ....saw this on e-bay

    Tried link and it appears to work.

    I would be patient and look on E-bay and the BC classifieds. I have bought basses from Japan through e-bay with seikosuru2003 and bluezy-guitars - had great quick service - you can contact them to look out for things for you too.

    You could also look for Jap bass bodies and necks on e-bay and make up your own one that way.

    Good luck in your hunt !

    Scroll down a bit and you'll see the (You Tube) vid

    You'll have to put up with some drum noodling until 1:15 when Percy comes in (in his own inimitable style - harmonics blazing !)

    At 1.25 there is good footage of him grooving away - great stuff !

    You can check out some soundclips of more recent stuff on his website too to see what he's up to these days - not everyones cup of tea I know but jeez I love his playing.

    I'm a bit of an MK fan I must say - the Japan album "Tin Drum" album is as good a place as any to start.

    He's readily admits to Percy Jones being a big influence - indeed he got into fretless through hearing Percy Jones on Eno's Another Green World album.

    Another great British fretless player to try out if you haven't heard him before.....

    FS: Fender Japan Unlined Fretless P-Bass Neck - SOLD

    in Basses For Sale

    Posted · Edited by dmz

    Folks,

    Up for grabs is a Fender Japan Precision Bass neck. Unlined fretless with a rosewood fingerboard - excellent condition - includes tuners.

    This came from a PB62FL bass that I bought from Ishibashi in Japan in 2006 so is quite rare in these parts.

    "B" spec - so 1.65 neck width at the nut - somewhere in between a P-Bass and a Jazz.

    Would make for a beautiful fretless Fender project - be it P-bass or Jazz bass.

    I have a piccie of it on a jazz bass body here

    Folks,

    Just wondering if anyone out there has bought or got their hands on one of these yet. I ordered one from Thomman but the order kept getting pushed back so I cancelled.

    Mulling over whether to get one or not - makes a nice change from the Fender or Fender based instruments I've been into of late.

    Certainly the review on Bass Player TV on sonic grounds makes it a must.

    The looks are not to everyones taste but if it sounds that good who cares I say......

    Two octaves - light as a feather and £199 or so - you can't really go wrong/

    in Amps and Cabs For Sale

    Posted · Edited by dmz

    Folks,

    Have the above combo up for grabs - mint condition and comes in the original box.

    Essentially a 12 inch cube modelling amp with a single 10 inch driver. Sounds great, very portable and has a decent amount of power.

    Looking for £100 + postage.

    Will get some piccies up soon.

    If you live near Newport in South Wales get in touch and you can try before you buy !
