I've never seen one either and I do a lot of "research"! Also been looking out for a four string fretless. I've got the Harley Benton jaco-alike on order but tempted to go for something more special and ideally unlined. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

uk_lefty Posted December 10, 2022 Share Posted December 10, 2022 Yeah I spotted that one. I know they did these from the US in the late 70's and early 80's but it was the Japanese one specifically I wasn't aware of. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was nearly tempted by a Burgundyglo 4003 about 15 years back, but I plumped for a 4004L which I really liked but moved it on for a CIJ P a few years later. Chances are this is the same bass I have here now! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I purchased it in Music Ground in Manchester in 2007 and moved it on to a chap in Yorkshire around 18 months later. I think it might have appeared on Arni's site since then, but not 100% it is the same instrument. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Piers_Williamson Posted January 18, 2023 Share Posted January 18, 2023 I last played it in the Bass Gallery, where it loitered for quite a while. It's interesting in that it has a lighter body than a normal Wal 2 and it had some pretty bespoke fretless markers as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
