wombatboter Posted September 6, 2012 Posted September 6, 2012 Bought one of these myself as a back-up for my Wal fretless during concerts.. Nice bass for that price, proof that you don't have to pay a lot for an inspiring fretless.. I recorded a YT-clip a while ago to give an idea of the sound it is capable to deliver..

yepmop Posted September 6, 2012 Author Posted September 6, 2012 very impressive playing Wombatboter! You demonstrate the sound this bass can make very well.
wombatboter Posted September 6, 2012 Posted September 6, 2012 Thanks and glad to be of help...a sound says more than words (didn't modify anything, stock pick ups etc..) Good luck with your sale !
