gafbass02 Posted December 9, 2010 Share Posted December 9, 2010 (edited) I picked this up recently, its a cheap superbudget ebay job, only with a nicer body than usual, and a pretty birdseyed neck. I cant get along with the string spacing as im used to wide status sixes, that and i kinda suck at fretless! I did actually sell it already but the buyer discovered a few problems so im offering it here as is for either a fixer upper/project or what have you. The bass is only a few weeks old and is cellophaned as new, and set up to play; but along the way the pickups have failed under the B string :-( Im sure replacements are available very cheaply or that Andy at Wizard could sort em out. The sound from the other five strings is fine, very burpy and bouncy with decent bite and attack. (and yes, 'mwah'!) The other thing is that the dots are in a funny place, they seem to be either slightly out, or i suspect, in the middle of the 'fret' which is something ive had on fretless basses before, I used to much prefer it actually and hadn't initially noticed it on this one until it was pointed out! Its a bit odd but again there are many ways to sort this if you wanted them on the note. Ive always found playing 'slightly to the right of the blob' better than on the line as it were! Probably cause thats how my old 80's jazz was. SO anyway with this all in mind im offering this very new bass at a whopping loss to what i paid for it shipped very recently at £80 posted to yor UK mainland only door. Or trade for WHY? It looks great in the flesh and is well screwed together apart from the pickups lol! nice bit of kit for someone im sure, but fretless and me have had our day!
