NBD: Zoot custom fretless

Today I picked up my new custom zoot bass from Mike Walsh and... oh my!

firstly, the workmanship is stunning. Every aspect is top drawer. It was great to be able to specify the exact neck profile and radius of the ebony board and mike absolutely nailed it. Although I decided to do unlined on the board facia I’m pleased I got lines added to the top of the fretboard to give me a helping hand. The ebony board is so thick too! Really makes it sing.

its fitted with a Noll 3 band active preamp and amazing pups from Harry Haussell. The neck is a 70s jazz and the bridge is a music man with a jazz coil sitting between the two mm coils. The amount of switching options is ridiculous... it’ll probably take as long to get to grips with the electronics as it will to learn to play it in tune! 😂

if you’re thinking of getting a custom build do yourself a favour and have a chat to mike!

Mike's a great guy to deal with. I spent an hour with him myself on Friday afternoon, just finalising the colour for my own Funk meister, which is a couple of months from completion. It'll be my third Zoot. They are superb basses and he's a straight, honest guy to deal with. If anyone's thinking of going the custom route you owe it to yourself to speak to Mike before you make a decision.
