andydye Posted January 17, 2017 Posted January 17, 2017 Our live set is diversifying and a fretless is becoming very useful, tried it with my fretless ray but the sound is just too different from my Shuker Nr1 so I'm scoping out a fretless PJ to complement my Nr1 & Nr2 Shuker P basses...then I really am done...I think... Here's the top wood, Burr Elm rescued from the great Sheffield tree cull by a friend of Jons' [url=https://flic.kr/p/Rfu4SJ][/url] The body will be swamp ash again to keep the core sound similar to my fretted P basses. Seymour Duncan SPB-1 as per my other basses but adding an SJB-1b at the bridge so I can mix it in occasionally for that extra mid fretlessy-ness. Ebony fingerboard cos Jon has found a lovely piece of dark Ebony. Quote

andydye Posted March 24, 2017 Author Posted March 24, 2017 Been quiet for a wee while on this as Jon has had a busy LGBS and then had some guys in on a course doing builds but here's a bit of progress, body all together and the top carve/shape/bend has been done. Neck is well underway, fingerboard is on, side markers fret ticks are in... Lovely [url=https://flic.kr/p/SD2gi1][/url] [url=https://flic.kr/p/RWrm1u][/url] [url=https://flic.kr/p/RWrkYL][/url] Quote
