7string Posted September 18, 2012 Posted September 18, 2012 Thought I'd better add my Sei to this thread.

andydye Posted September 19, 2012 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

Clarky Posted September 24, 2012 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
Mr Bassman Posted September 24, 2012 Posted September 24, 2012 Oh Yes! much nicer with the tort! Quote

mcgraham Posted September 25, 2012 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

mcgraham Posted September 25, 2012 Posted September 25, 2012 Yes, yes they do. Considering moving on my fretted W&T at some stage, just cos it doesn't get any play time. Not sure though. Quote

[/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

ezbass Posted October 16, 2012 Posted October 16, 2012 The previous 2 basses are very, very much porn. There should be a law against that amount of figured wood! Very nice guys. Quote

Great photography btw Quote

jaydentaku Posted October 18, 2012 Posted October 18, 2012 Cheers Andy. I am smitten with it. Jon has done a fantastic job with the pickup, I am loathed to put it through any effects. Quote
