dmz Posted January 19, 2008 Share Posted January 19, 2008 Here's one of my Laklands - started off life as a rosewood lined fretless 55-02 Got Martin at the Bass Gallery in London to put an unlined fretless birdseyemaple fingerboard on it. Fingerboard is coated in satin finished polyurethane - very hard and durable - fingerboard is 8mm thick instead of the more normal 5mm - nice and chunky ! My first ever fretless was a Maya P-bass copy which had an unlined maple fingerboard. Since I got rid of it I always hanckered after another fretless bass with a maple board........

jwbassman Posted January 20, 2008 Share Posted January 20, 2008 Beautiful - I've often wondered about the practicality of a maple board on a fretless, quite fancy one... hmm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmz Posted January 22, 2008 Author Share Posted January 22, 2008 "What strings have you got on there? " Nickel roundwounds (Elites) - the coating on the fingerboard is pretty damned hard and shows no signs of scuffing - although I could be tempted to try half grounds just to try something different.
