That said, maybe one song I don't know in the list is from that band...

Great set lists @police squad and @hiram.k.hackenbacker. At least you avoided the most horrific band of the 80's, even if they started in the late 70's : The Cure (that said their two first albums were quite good, their 80's shīt is simply awful, but it's what entitled them to ... money).

Furthermore Nathan Watts was the official musical director of Stevie Wonder back then and during years.

Exactly @MartinB. 😉

Furthermore Freddie Washington doesn't look like Nathan Watts at all, because I'm 99% confident that it's Nathan Watts.

Check Nathan Watts as he was the official bass player for Stevie Wonder in 2005 (between two diets, he could have looked that way). 😉

It's George Duke on keyboards, and the bassist plays a Marcus Miller Fender signature bass, so maybe Freddy Washington is right.

Here are two diagrams from Cadfaels with the serial place on the switch better positioned (to avoid huge differences in output). The second one uses Leds, which can be interesting too. Click 3 times on the image to have it in full definition.

Amazing to be so stubborn @steantval ! Here it is again! The official reference is Switchcraft 113X. 😉 https://www.switchcraft.com/assets/1/24/110x-m110x_series_cd.pdf?5406 You can find it here at a normal price: https://www.mouser.co.uk/ProductDetail/Switchcraft/113X?qs=iwvYsH9bSFbrUaj7QgyZ6A%3D%3D&srsltid=AfmBOoqhz7UfD89CrWZlOZAJMRlC2_sCGRrr2q8MhwZkTH-_NYfW8N7R The two wiring possibilities are here, accordingly to the type of output jack:

Nitrocellulosic finish will wear almost as fast as no coating at all, prefer some polyester or polyurethane finish, I had this done on a few fretless fingerboard and it was really fine.

Lovely, really! 😍

Here @RonC: https://meisterworks.myshopify.com/collections/luminlay-products Always order there and nowhere else as there are many fakes and it's the maker's webshop.

Fantastic build as usual @Basvarken. I love the led light under the hood! ❤️

Some people are slow, aren't they.

Way cheaper here as always: https://www.zikinf.com/annonces/annonce-2449790

The left hand does it when tapping. 😉

And maybe ask on the other part of BassChat, which is GuitarChat as it's a guitar... 😉 Had a few many many many moons ago, and IIRC they all had Kahler tremolos.

Depending on the needs, the Zoom B2 Four and B6 are also worth checking too.

You are not alone @binky_bass... 😉 Instead of speaking of boutique basses, I prefer the term luthier basses, because this is what are my basses and if I've gone that path, it's because I couldn't find what I was looking for in mass produced instruments when I started playing fretless bass 40+ years ago, yes I really started with a fretless as it's the bass tone I hear in my head. Before the first fretless I had an awful Maya EB-2, then a way better Ibanez SoundGear SDGR 800, but I was simply noodling, and then came the first fretless, a now long gone Aria Diamond Violin that had been defretted by Christophe Leduc to my request and fitted with EMG pickups including a piezo pickup: It sounded ace and made me want to take lessons to learn music, but I was attracted by the fretless ERB, hence these luthier made basses that started my love for these instruments, because I had no other option available back then. That said, I like some vintage instruments too for what they are, and even if I'm a vintage Fender expert (some mates here can confirm this), I don't own any Fender vintage instruments anymore, because they don't meet my requirements at all. It's all about tone, nothing more, and, yes, I fancy coffee table fretless basses as well as ultra well thought instruments designed around efficiency and tone. So, please, accept that we don't all like the same stuff. 😉

Don't worry, I'm maybe too sharp for a 60 years old guy and I've always had an excellent memory despite a very bad car crash that crippled me in 2009.

Very nice job, really. Congratulations!

Are you my twin? 😉

That would be great to have his thoughts about his LACS bass, and furthermore it's a sixer.

Yep @LowB_FTW, and fanned fretless basses do exist: I saw a few.

I'm a bit dubitative concerning the original fretless assertion... Furthermore it would certainly have been called B Bass VI FL, should it have been officially released by Hohner.
