Their unlined fretless P’s always look nice & good value, but never played one. Curious.

Those machineheads don’t look particularly well fitted, they’re a bit uneven? My guess is a bitsa.

Bought a Groove 5’er, sold it. Bought it back off same buyer, sold it. Tracked it down, bought it back, sold it. Like a an old flame that is lots of “fun” and exciting when together initially, but long term we’ll never last. I’ve tried to buy an old Squier P bass bitsa back off an old student...many, many times, but she won’t budge. Keeps saying something about “sentimental” reasons, only bass she needs .... blah blah blah. I obviously failed her 🥴

Nik bought some machineheads off me. The usual easy, smooth transaction along with great comms. Cheers John

Mods! Mods! There’s been a breach! 😲

To echo @Mykesbass so sorry to hear this. Also sounds like good advice regarding keeping the bass to help with focus, and “future” thinking. Best wishes. John

Never stopped me 😂😂😂

Ooh not far from me. Or too bad for you M. 😎

Congratulations on your new bass! And welcome to the wonderful world of fretless 😎 In addition to the above advice, maybe have some fun practicing playing familiar patterns/riffs/songs without looking at the fretboard too much. Great way of training your ears, hearing intonation, and not as scary as it seems.

Looks like it’s unfinished

Good lad. And, breathe

😘

Mine was victim to the cull too. 😳 I’ve tried to introduce a new one from my photos, but it’s only changed the big picture on my profile, but not the little circley avatar. Any clues what I’m doing wrong?

I’ve just asked swmbo to read this thread. I thought it might help if she saw she wasn’t alone. Then I realised she wasn’t alone, otherwise I couldn’t have asked her to read the thread.

You ARE talking about the bass aren’t you?
