Sambrook Posted December 29, 2013 Share Posted December 29, 2013 A reluctant sale, this one, as it does everything I want from a fretless, except having two extra strings! I've decided I really need to concentrate on four string playing. This is a really beautiful instrument, as you can see. The spalting on the top is just great. It has been professionally defretted by the previous owner, with the fretlines visible to the player, and no-one else (which is nice). The action is unbelievably low, achieved by my local music shop (R&T Music- buy with confidence!). It's strung with Daddario rounds, and sounds really good. The front pickup with the mids full on sounds just like an angry P bass, the back pickup is nice and burpy, and the two together sound really sweet. The only bad points are a small ding in the headstock (pictured), and my amateurish attempts to highlight the ends of the fretlines. This is with a white pen only, though, so it's not permanent. Otherwise, it's a tremendous bass, and I will be sorry to part with it. I know we all say that, but it's true. I have a foam hard case to pack it in, unless my Squier VM VI sells first, in which case it will be bubble wrapped to death for posting. I'm happy to meet up if convenient, although I live near Barrow in Cumbria. If I've missed anything, ask away.

Sambrook Posted December 29, 2013 Author Share Posted December 29, 2013 The Squier has sold already, so it will be bubble wrapped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nick.nrb Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 Hello, Is the bass still available please? I was looking at the 5 string F/L version, but would seriously consider a 6er F/L after playing a 5er fretted locally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
