New Fretless Day

[gary mac]

Well it was a week or so back actually but I've been tinkering about and getting the set up just so.

Been fancying trying my hand at fretless for a while now, so I bought this rather lovely neck.
Swapped out the fretted neck on my homebuilt P and put on a set of Status Half Wounds.

I'm pleased with the quality and the look, now just got to master playing it. So far, I'm really enjoying it.

Im not normally a fan of sunburst, but that looks very special indeed. Top drawer!

Well... you know what they say... 'no frets - no pants'.





OK, it's not a known saying - I've just made it up in the hope it'll become popular.

I will be looking eagerly awaiting an opportunity to use this phrase.

I like how you have eschewed the fret lines. Brave

I've just done the same thing: I just bought a warwick rockbass fretless and it'll be arriving soon (review to follow).

Looks really nice. I've just replaced the black pickguard on my Tony Franklin for the original Tort but looking at yours, it just looks right.
Enjoy!
