Acquired from Beedster a couple of months ago and such a stunner with the replacement tort I thought it was worth sharing !

Always liked the look of this and fretless Ricks sound excellent, eg this dude playing some jazz

Looking at those pics is like looking at pics of an ex-girlfriend who found a better bloke and upped her game a bit, know what I mean

Seriously though, that is one hell of a bass, as my several threads on this forum about it will testify (I'll search them out and link to them below later). Tone-wise it does everything from thumpy mid-era Beatles Macca through to Geddy. As my recent post count here will testify, I've fallen out of love with playing bass as the result of several other conflicting commitments, and certainly the little bass I'm playing wouldn't warrant a fretless, but there's still a significant part of me wants this bass back because it is just such a completely unique and wonderful instrument on every level.
