Marcus Posted July 15, 2008 Posted July 15, 2008 (edited) Hi Guys, I purchased from this forum just 8 weeks ago a rather nice Vintage Fretless PJ currently strung with Rotosound Flats it's a great entry into fretless only little issue is the nut has a piece chipped off the side, this doesn't affect the secure location of the string in the slot in any way, but I wanted to mention it [b]GAS is attacking so it's up for grabs at a stupid price of £80 [/b] ONO - these sell in the shops at £239 and represent great value at that ! [b]Price Drop to £70 collected[/b][u][/u] Original for sale thread [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=15760&hl=vintage+fretless"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=...intage+fretless[/url] NB the colour is best represented by the first photo, very Warwick Thumb sort of vibe !!

How you doin Martin ? Treat this as a bump.... I'd knock the price down but at £80 it's too cheap anyway [b]ok then £80 ovno[/b]
Frusty Posted July 16, 2008 Posted July 16, 2008 (edited) I see it's not lined but are there fret marker dots on the side of the fretboard? Edited July 16, 2008 by Frusty
Marcus Posted July 16, 2008 Author Posted July 16, 2008 Yes indeed there are dots at the fret position...... makes it pretty easy to reference, I have to say after playing this bass i'm really into fretless and will at some point venture into the fretless world again.... and it'll be unlined again ! ........the lads in the band were pretty impressed when I turned up for rehearsal and played a couple of numbers on an unlined fretless !!! Instant muso street cred

captain black Posted July 16, 2008 Posted July 16, 2008 Mmm, really, really tempted. Will get back to you asap.
Netballman Posted July 17, 2008 Posted July 17, 2008 I'd have it, but I live in London! Of course if you're coming down this way...?
Marcus Posted July 17, 2008 Author Posted July 17, 2008 Best I could do is meet half way I get to Nottingham Regularly.... worth mentioning I'm there next week Monday / Tuesday could potentially meet up anywhere on route from Sunderland to Notts Cheers Mark
Chris2112 Posted July 17, 2008 Posted July 17, 2008 I'll stick my oar in here, I used to have one of these and they really are great basses, when I got mine it cost another £100 and I still thought it was a bargain!

Netballman Posted July 18, 2008 Posted July 18, 2008 How much to post Marcus? Sadly I just don't think a meetup is likely to be feasible (though I may be in Leicester on 6 August, but on a motorbike!)

Marcus Posted August 3, 2008 Author Posted August 3, 2008 for heavens sake guys do I have to drop this in price ? it's only taking up space so it's £70 collected now !!! Mark
RaNoFuNkY Posted August 4, 2008 Posted August 4, 2008 These things are great! I love mine, sounds great. And this price is an absolute steal! Have a bump mate!

I guess you're thinking for £70 it's piece of Cr@p ? you'd be very wrong indeed !!! It's just taking up space here some come take it off me !!!
