Happy Jack Posted July 10, 2011 Share Posted July 10, 2011 (edited) Neck = Mighty Mite Precision fretless, ebanol board, "fret-end" markers added by luthier Andy Gibson (Denmark Street) Tuners = Korean Hipshots from a Lakland Skyline Body / Bridge / Scratchplate = Fender Squier Precision Pickups & Wiring = P is a Duncan Design unit, J is a complete unknown, wiring by Andy Gibson Knobs = John East P-Retro, so a pair of stacked knobs, in this case wired as V/T & V/T More piccies at [url="http://tinypic.com/a/2ifwg/3"]http://tinypic.com/a/2ifwg/3[/url] Very nice little project, this was, and an ideal introduction to fretless bass. The "fret-end" markers are only really visible from above, i.e. by the player. Glance down as you play and you see frets, and play with confidence - what the audience sees is a plain, unlined fingerboard and they all think "[i]Why this man is a bass-playing God![/i]". Or something. [size=4][b]£150 ono.[/b][/size] DESCRIPTIONS I don't do the whole describe-the-neck thing, and tell you what it feels like or how "fast" it is (does that help when you play a song by J.J. Cale?). I don't tell you how low my action is. I don't slap or tap, so there's no point asking me. All my basses are set up for reasonably robust finger-style playing. If you want to know the sort of music I choose to play, check out the Band link in my sig. If my description didn't mention a problem, then there isn't one (IMHO). All that said, obviously you should always try before you buy if at all possible. If you can't do that yourself, then I'm perfectly happy for you to ask a knowledgeable friend to come round and check a bass out on your behalf. OFFERS There's not a lot of cash out there and (given that I am not looking for trades at all) I am prepared to entertain offers ... in fact some offers can be quite entertaining. DELIVERY This bass will be supplied with a cheap gig bag. It can be tested in and/or collected from London, either in Chiswick W4 or the West End WC1. I can post if I really have to, but I greatly prefer to do business face to face. If I'm posting, then I use my firm's courier - they are very reliable but they are NOT cheap. No, I will not queue up at the Post Office with a bass. No, I will not use DelBoy's ultra-cheap delivery service. No, I will not wait in at home all day in case your chosen courier decides to put in an appearance. Bin there, dun that.
