Fretless Jazz Bass Type Thingy

Fought my way through the torrential rain last Sunday to collect the bass from Lawrence's workshop in Letchworth, got a very welcome cup of tea on arrival.

As you can see from the pictures it's a very pretty looking bass indeed, it's quite hard to photograph but I think I've go the pics pretty close.

Acoustically it plays really well, It's got some nice mwah going on but plugged in there's a nasty hum/buzz from the ACG 02, something is not right at all, Lawrence has talked to ACG and no one seems to know what's wrong with it, I bought the pre second hand a couple of years ago so it may have been faulty when I got it, I can't blame either ACG or Lawrence for that. I do have another ACG 02 in the cupboard so I'll get my mate to swap them over and see how it is or maybe wire the Wizards up as passive, still thinking it through.

Unfortunately it will have to go back to Letchworth at some point to have the set-up lowered slightly, tuners repositioned a tad and a small mark in the burst fixed.

Many thanks go to Mr Born for sticking with what turned out to be a bit of a nightmare job for him.
