Stuee Posted January 26, 2011 Posted January 26, 2011 Just came across [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=130476847605"]this[/url]. If anyone was wishing Sue Ryder did a fretless, this is probably about as close as you'll get. AND they also come with a bag and strap! And [url="http://stores.ebay.co.uk/nowthenourkidshop/bass-guitars-/_i.html?_fsub=16"]here's their shop[/url], with LOADS of basses all about £50 + P&P. Ridiculous!

Hobbayne Posted January 26, 2011 Posted January 26, 2011 I bought a strat copy from them about a couple of years ago, absolute bollocks!! the guitar was unplayable, the fretwire was so bad it cut my hands, and the strings wouldnt stay on the bridge saddles, let alone stay in tune!! I flogged it on ebay as an unplayable guitar with loaded body- good for parts!! Quote
Stuee Posted January 26, 2011 Author Posted January 26, 2011 Hmmm.... Hopefully this one wouldn't have any fret wire at all, but thanks for the heads up! Perhaps it's not up there with the Sue Ryders of this world after all Quote

Annoying Twit Posted January 27, 2011 Posted January 27, 2011 (edited) [b]Currently[/b] cheaper fretless here. For those near Derby. Not a precision though.

willyf87 Posted January 27, 2011 Posted January 27, 2011 Bought a telecaster from same guy, had the same experience as hobbayne pretty useless guitar, I actually think I sold it on here for £20 all in, would be useful for parts or someone wishing to do it up a bit. I would avoid the basses at all cost!! Quote
philw Posted January 27, 2011 Posted January 27, 2011 Looking through the Ebay shop I happened up this: [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Project-Fretless-Electric-Bass-Guitar-Kit-new-/110638327429?pt=UK_Musical_Instruments_Guitars_CV&hash=item19c28ee685#ht_500wt_1156"]http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Project-Fretless-Ele...5#ht_500wt_1156[/url] It reveals something about the quality....

Stuee Posted February 1, 2011 Author Posted February 1, 2011 Ah, so it would appear that these are poo. Ever wish you could delete a thread you started? Quote

Really don't like the look of those big, painted-on looking fret lines, though. Just wish there was a Sue Ryder lined fretless. Preferably a Jazz... Jon. Quote
