Why not upload a sound clip to [url="http://soundcloud.com/dashboard"]http://soundcloud.com/dashboard[/url] then post the link on here.

Beautiful bass. I love the combination of a black fingerboard and ash body. Pity I'm not in the market for a new bass.

Thanks Bassbus for your helpful thoughts but I'm a bit lazy, easier if any serious buyer pm'd me and then I can also add any more details.

thanks Nick..the bass is selling below its 'RRP' price now! Part of a small contingent of basses made for another project which due to the shops situation, didn't really take off.

Nice bass but not easy to figure out the sound of this fretless.

A better "commercial" approach would have been to offer something to ear ... please take one minute to link your sound clip !

I'm actually in search of a fretless to complete my collection...

Er, you can get a soundclip from me...........

"( mp3 soundclip available, please PM me for it. Too difficult at present to load anything above 1.3Mb onto Basschat).

this is part of my posting. I, along with many others have had problems loading pics / mp3's onto Basschat. I think it is because the capacity to load any SINGLE pic/mp3 has to be well below the TOTAL capacity allowed for one posting.
Of course, everyone should post an mp3 of the bass's sound they are selling as every bass sounds different.
Maybe you have pm'd me, I'll have a look and then I can send an mp3 to you.
It took me more than one minute to try and load the mp3, very frustrating.
All praise to the chaps running the site but even they know many of us have had problems.
I do of course presume that any serious potential buyer for a complete custom/hand made fretless bass would have pm'd me for further information.

please see previous reply to a newbie Zekragash.........
I do try to and give as much info as possible. I can understand that any serious buyer would ike to know as much as possible.
A soundclip is rarely added to any bass being sold. I have been pm'd for soundclips. Please pm me if you would like one.
