zawinul Posted November 11, 2015 Posted November 11, 2015 (edited) Back in the day I foolishly sold my Wal for peanuts... Today I've just had delivered from Munich from Hannes,Kev Hopper's custom built ACG fretlesss in prefect condition. .. I've lost for words and have almost been in tears. ..17 years of hurt...and that wound is healed. ..its no exaggeration at least as well made and beautiful sounding as my wal, lighter, just beautiful. ..picks to follow.... one happy day Edited November 11, 2015 by zawinul Quote

ead Posted November 11, 2015 Posted November 11, 2015 Excellent news. This is the bass with the piezo in the nut is it not? I presume the usual forum rules about pictures apply. Quote

Dread Bass Posted November 11, 2015 Posted November 11, 2015 I'm biased but I do think Alan makes some of the best fretless basses available. Quote

skelf Posted November 12, 2015 Posted November 12, 2015 It has both, piezo in the nut and the bridge. The nut one was used to produce some unusual sounds. Talk to Kev about it he ordered the bass. Quote
