andydye Posted September 19, 2012 Share Posted September 19, 2012 [quote name='andydye' timestamp='1340717343' post='1708485'] Since sending you the S1 BottomE and despite loving my NXT4 I have come to realise that I can't live without a fretless electric bass as there are just some songs that won't work on upright, so...I will be properly joining in with this thread as soon as Bass Doc gets back from holiday and fits the new fretless neck on my Geddy Jazz!

It's superb to play! I've never had a jazz like it!! Will take pics when I get chance as without them 'it never happened'! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clarky Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 My newly acquired Fender Jaco Tribute bass. I prefer a scratchplate and I don't want to emulate/hero-worship Jaco so I have added a tort plate from Howard the Bass Doc and ditched the roundwound strings in favour of meaty-sounding TruBass black nylon strings. Very nice! [attachment=119244:P1050517.JPG] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mcgraham Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 The sound is epic. I've had professional musicians comment how they didn't even realise it was fretless til they came up close, simply because it sounds as punchy and as solid as a fretted bass would. Good intonation helps too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] I hope to be able to post the pics of my soon to come (probably in couple of weeks) fretless W&T in this thread But it is not a Zoid shape. I almost sold my Zoid VM6 (fretted) at one stage, but thanks God the sale fell through. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
