Grafen Posted November 3, 2012 Posted November 3, 2012 (edited) I have a very Carl Thompson-esque fretless for sale made by the swedish luthier Daniel Nadjalin. He might not be the most well-known builder out there but nevertheless it's an awesome bass made to the highest standards. Specs are as follows: Alder body with wenge top. Wenge deep set bolt-on neck with wenge fretboard + maple fretlines. Slim profile, a lot like an early Warwick Thumb. 2 Lane Poor (!) single coil pickups in wenge casings. Passive electronics (vol, vol, tone) Warwick 2-piece bridge. Gotoh machine heads. French polish finish. SKB square hardcase. Sounds awesome, has a perfect balance between burpiness and fatness. Easy to play with a low weight and balances perfectly. Issues: One bridge saddle chip is missing (avilable from Warwick for 2,69 €). An earlier owner has filed wide grooves in the holders for the bridge saddle chips for some unapparent reason, maybe he didn't know that you could adjust the height of the entire bridge... However it doesn't affect the function at all but looks rough. Dings and belt buckle scratches but otherwise in very good shape, the neck is pristine. *sold* Edited January 22, 2013 by Grafen
