rockman Posted February 1, 2011 Posted February 1, 2011 Very tidy Vintage (the brand, not the age!) V940f bubinga fretless. These are a budget brand, but are widely known as a quality make for the price, and a great way to get a start on an unlined fretless. There is a slight mark on the back, and a little wear on the neck where I have recently used rounds (I prefer the growl!), neither of which will effect the sound or playability... It has P/J Wilkinson Pickups, with an active EQ, that I have always found versatile and powerful. The controls are Volume / Blend / Bass (Boost / Cut) / Treble (Boost / Cut). I'm selling because it really doesn't get much use, and I'm trying to focus the collection a little more about quality not quantity, and fretless just doesn't come up very often! I'm open to offers, but would like [b]£140[/b], or would consider a swap for a East J-Retro preamp... I've not looked into courier prices (maybe £25?!), but will be willing for anyone to pick-up or meet somewhere in the Bristol area. I've attached some pics, so please have a look and get back to me with any questions! Thanks
Pentode Posted February 1, 2011 Posted February 1, 2011 Used to have one of these. Really nice sounding fretless. Have a bump on me!

Spent two weeks on it already and it's not finished yet. See, I should be more patient. However, for any interested parties, great, playable bass for hardly any money. Best of luck with the sale type bump.
