WinterMute Posted November 29, 2018 Share Posted November 29, 2018 Claiming to be from the redoubtable Mr. Giblin's collection, this is a slightly battered Rosco Beck, defretted, but at a cracking price currently... https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Fender-Roscoe-Beck-5-string-Fretless-Bass/292834513076?hash=item442e4c10b4:g:d7wAAOSwdzhb~AWF:rk:23:pf:0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WinterMute Posted November 29, 2018 Author Share Posted November 29, 2018 Yep. However you could probably scrape enough DNA off the fretboard to clone the great man... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigRedX Posted November 29, 2018 Share Posted November 29, 2018 A bit of a mess with the routing for the larger pickup, the bodged second string retainer, and from what I can see the defretting job doesn't look the best (there are no clear photos of the actual fingerboard which is always a warning sign IMO).

It's on Reverb too, better photos. Doesn't look any prettier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ezbass Posted November 29, 2018 Share Posted November 29, 2018 I vaguely remember this being for sale at The Gallery many years ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
