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 -
[quote name='51m0n' post='442229' date='Mar 23 2009, 09:47 AM']Whats the scale length on this?[/quote]
42 Inches -
If you check out the Ergo website - see first post - will give you a flavour - with the right eq and the like on your amp or effects rack - you can get a very decent upright sound.....

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

The Richard Thompson "Live in Austin Texas" DVD would be a good purchace.
His tone on the track "Mingus Eyes" is just breathtaking - turn up loud ! -
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 !

Looks damn tasty with the Chi-sonic !
More "normal" ones to come too
I feel a build up of GAS........ -
Sorry - no trades - funds being used to get a Status fretless neck - just one of those itches you've got to scratch...........

Bump !

....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 ! -
From 1976.....

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..... -
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/ -
Will definitely be looking out for the book.
Given the interest in these basses I'm surprised Fender never did a re-issue.
You'd probably have to go down the Fender CS or Bravewood route now to get a new version of one.
One day perhaps...... -
BK's work on the Laurie Anderson album "Strange Angels" is highly recommended - especially on the track "Monkeys Paw".
-

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 !

He he he
How common are lined fretless Precision basses?
in Bass Guitars

You could try these people
[url="http://www.bhefnerco.com/bass.htm"]http://www.bhefnerco.com/bass.htm[/url]
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.
