Raslee Posted July 22, 2012 Author Share Posted July 22, 2012 [quote name='Old Horse Murphy' timestamp='1342987664' post='1743557'] I love that 51 Reissue [/quote] Yeah it is nice isn't it, can't fault it really but just feel it isn't me.

Raslee Posted July 23, 2012 Author Share Posted July 23, 2012 Forgot to mention the fretless has some funky old school capacitor thing in the electric's giving an even better tone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raslee Posted July 25, 2012 Author Share Posted July 25, 2012 An evening bump, no interest they're both cracking basses and the fretless will not disappoint Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alyctes Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 That's a pretty fretless I wonder what I could get rid of - I have too many basses. Let me have a think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] Not only does it look pretty but more importantly it plays and sounds beautiful with very low action...i preferred this Hohner neck over a Fender fretless which is why i have had it for sometime...but i to have too many basses and that fretless day isn't happening for me (yet!)...althoughif it doesn't sell/trade then i will not be unhappy to keep it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raslee Posted July 26, 2012 Author Share Posted July 26, 2012 It's somewhere between the two, not as wide as my P bass but then not as thin as my 62RI jazz at the nut. The neck pocket is fender size and is a nice tight fit in the body. Just measured with a tape measure, the nut is about 40mm with the rear profile being more flat jazz like rather than my chunky P, but not as skinny as my jazz. Hope that helps, I can take more pics of the neck if you like...although am off to work now so will be later this eve/tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raslee Posted August 1, 2012 Author Share Posted August 1, 2012 Fender 51P has a trade pending. Fretless still up for grabs. May withdraw if no takers here and keep it.... or may eBay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul_5 Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 Bump for the fretless, I had one years ago and it sounded superb and played beautifully. Mine was white with a tort plate, but I'd recognise that headstock anywhere! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
