Up for sale is my ultimate build bass.
Allparts licensed alder body in Olympic white.
Status graphite unlined fretless neck.
John East J-Retro preamp in black.
Babicz full-contact bridge In black.
Dimarzio DP123 pups.
Hipshot ultralite tuners.
Ghs compression wound strings brand new.
The body is mint and has no dings or scratches. The neck shows light string marks but does not affect the playing.
This thing sounds incredible and the sustain is beyond anything I have ever owned. The build idea was to be able to get the pino growl which the fretboard and strings in combination achieve in bucket fulls. The John east gives tonnes of options. I honestly think its the best sounding fretless I've ever had.
The problem I have with it is my sloppy intonation from lack of practice time and struggling with the p bass nut width. The strings spacing at the nut just feels a bit wide for my fingers. So as much as it pains me I will be buying a lined fretless and letting this go. The thing looks so damn cool I'm tempted to keep it but someone needs to play it like it deserves. It really does feel like a pro bass and the sound is something that would get even pino himself chubbed up.
I would prefer collection as I do not have a case for it. But buying cases etc can be agreed with buyer.
