Raslee Posted July 22, 2012 Author 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. More tecno info on the bass here from Fender Japan - [url="http://www.fenderjapan.co.jp/opb51-sd.html"]http://www.fenderjapan.co.jp/opb51-sd.html[/url]
Raslee Posted July 23, 2012 Author 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.
Mickeyboro Posted July 23, 2012 Posted July 23, 2012 The Telebass was once mine - wish I could afford to buy it back.

Raslee Posted July 25, 2012 Author Posted July 25, 2012 An evening bump, no interest they're both cracking basses and the fretless will not disappoint
alyctes Posted July 25, 2012 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.

[/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

Raslee Posted July 26, 2012 Author 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.
Raslee Posted August 1, 2012 Author 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.
paul_5 Posted August 1, 2012 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!
Raslee Posted August 6, 2012 Author Posted August 6, 2012 Pre holiday bump-£125 + P&P ...how's dat sound?
