NBD Sqiure "P" fretless,+fist gig review

[merlin]

Well well having been reading the great reveiws on these basses one had to pop on down to Nevada music this very pm to have a gander,gosh quite a vast choice and all well within my budget of next too bu**er all.Went looking for a fretless as that is what I play,but ended up playing nearly the whole of Nevadas stock,well it would of been rude not too,hehe.Came home with the fretless p and just sat here looking for faults..cant find any,wow what a finish not a blemish,neck to body,great still in tune after being brought home, so taking it the the tuners are ok,it sounded ok in the shop,gig tomorrow will be its test,I can always upgrate the pup.Was a bit worried about the Ebonel on the neck,but again having had a jolly old bash on it,yes its dam good stuff,again a few gigs time will be the test.

These look cool. I'd love to try one. Nevada is a good shop too.

I've been waiting for someone to buy one of them to find out how good they are. I love precisions and I get fretless GAS all the time so interested to see how it performs. Interested to see if i could get a battery in the cavity for an EMG pickup. Usually the cavities are rather large

I have one of these and it is an awesome bass for the money.

Did it come with roundwounds? The one I tried had rounds, it was the only thing I didn't like about it!

Well played the new toy last night,thought I would just do the first couple of numbers just to see how she performed,....well shave my legs and call me Susan,played the bass all night,awesome sound,realy cut through the mix,the tone control has a good full sweep from thick bass to a great mwarr tone, easy to play,fretlines,great my others fretless bass has an unlined neck,so the lines are a bonus, love the rounds I perfer the tone over flats,tuners great once the strings beeded in.Now will have to get her out to clean it,
cheers M.

Glad to hear it performs well in the live environment, although it had little doubt that it would. Fretless rules!

I own a fretless P Bass made in the mid 90s. I prefer the fretless P to a fretless Jazz. Love their tone. I am glad to see you are enjoying the bass. Played one a few weeks back and found it every bit as good sounding as my Fender one. Enjoy!

Bought my LPB VM P/J there too. Nice shop, and a great light weight bass for silly money...
