lettsguitars Posted February 9, 2013 Posted February 9, 2013 I must admit. It isn't the best add in the world. Chris assured me the sale had nothing to do with the bass itself, more the fretlessness of it. And Chris got this at cost price. I would heavily suggest that this bass is worth at least double what it is being offered for.
Bobby K Posted February 9, 2013 Posted February 9, 2013 Oh yes, for sure Jon, an amazing bargain! Somebody will have it soon, no bother!

[/quote] John, there's nothing wrong with the bass, it's the fretlessness of it. that's what is catching me out on this one. If I spent more time on this and not on my fender I'm sure I would've cracked playing it in tune this bass really is just like butter, amazing !
giblett123 Posted February 9, 2013 Posted February 9, 2013 Its a fabulous bass, I picked it up in the summer deal which was half price (i'd be happy to pay full whack for one), I bought as much out of curiosity as anything, alas I'm not good enough to play a fretless though, as as bass I cant recommend them highly enough, they are sublime, if someone buys my pink jazz I'll buy another, this time with frets on it!
giblett123 Posted February 9, 2013 Posted February 9, 2013 They are, check the build diaries, I think I have a sale so will go for the one with frets I mentioned, proper vote of confidence that! :-)
BassBod Posted February 9, 2013 Posted February 9, 2013 If it wasn't for car tax and MOT next week I'd be grabbing this one! Another great BassChat offer.....
LukeFRC Posted February 9, 2013 Posted February 9, 2013 sad to see this here. I enjoyed seeing it made. Daftly low price too.
LukeFRC Posted February 9, 2013 Posted February 9, 2013 You know - having thought about this... I don't play fretless, or five strings... but if I either had money or a job at the moment I would buy this.
White Cloud Posted February 9, 2013 Posted February 9, 2013 Insane price for a bass of this quality! I love Jon's instruments, if it didnt have the sound holes then I would buy this now. £399???? Just so cheap. Add £1000 to that and then we might have a true reflection of worth.
Phil-osopher10 Posted February 9, 2013 Posted February 9, 2013 I think the sound holes make this really stand out to me and really set it apart. Funny how people work
giblett123 Posted February 10, 2013 Posted February 10, 2013 He's in Sandwell, kind of near J1 on the M5 or not far from J8 on the M6.

wrinkleygit Posted February 10, 2013 Posted February 10, 2013 scale length & string spacing at bridge ??? does look interesting, mike b.
bassmeg Posted February 10, 2013 Posted February 10, 2013 Beautiful bass, if there is anything that can tempt you in my sig, get in touch.
FrederikVanDuuren Posted February 10, 2013 Posted February 10, 2013 nice its weight? any infos on EQ? Volume/Tone i guess string spacing? scale? nr of fret-lines? just the usual infos i guess...
giblett123 Posted February 10, 2013 Posted February 10, 2013 This one was built for me originally so if my memory is correct........ scale length is 34", string spacing is 19mm at the bridge, passive vol + tone, weighs around the 6 1/2 lb mark, v v light and balances well, honestly can't remember how many lines it has but can remember it is a fantastic bass, Shame I didn't have the playing skills to do it justice!
