ezbass Posted November 27, 2011 Posted November 27, 2011 Just a thought, but why not get another scratch plate, drill another hole and fit a pan pot? That way you could revert it to its original state if you wanted to. Just saying.
Clarky Posted November 27, 2011 Posted November 27, 2011 I had the bass before Pierre (sorry it didn't work out ) and can attest to it being in superb condition. It's about as attractive a fretless as it's possible to get, if you are a Fender fan, and has a wonderful slick ebony neck
EssentialTension Posted November 27, 2011 Posted November 27, 2011 (edited) This was mine until a few weeks ago and is definitely a top notch fretless and I regret having to let it go. Altering to a VVT or VPT would in my view be an improvement but the stock setup of VT and 3-way selector is quite workable so, despite Pierre not being keen, I wouldn't let that put off any prospective buyer.

wombatboter Posted November 27, 2011 Posted November 27, 2011 Can't believe how quickly you buy and sell certain basses (same thing with the Status).. Maybe a bit more consideration before you buy something would be comforting to your bank-account..:-) I went through the same thing a couple of years ago (although I kept the basses longer) and now I realise that it was a disease and I'm not even kidding... Pity that the emphasis is a bit more on selling/ buying basses, especially since you are a great bassplayer (noticed that when I visited you in Brussels). I hope you'll find the one instrument that rules them all.. good luck with the sale and sorry for the off topic.

[/quote] Geert , the thing is very simple, I like to try many many many many things.... and yes I am certainly sure it's some kind of desease... but it's a fun have to one as it's not like i'm putting myself in any kinda financial danger for it..... The tony franklin is a very nice frettless, i just did one gig with it, and realized it was not for me..... I have my main basses... all the other ones are just for "fun"...

[/quote] yes I maybe could... but as said to geert, did one gig with it... can't get on with no balance thing... and i am not the kinda guy to mod' a bass... if it's not up to my taste "out of the box"... As long as I can get my money back... I am a happy man...
