dmccombe7 Posted March 30, 2019 Posted March 30, 2019 Nope sorry guys i'm not a fan of the colour plus i just don't like relic'ed basses and those rusting screws would annoy the hell outa me. Looks like the Sandberg might be my way forward. Everyone that's tried one says the necks are excellent. Dave 1 Quote

Its not as pink in real life. Quote

dmccombe7 Posted March 30, 2019 Posted March 30, 2019 I did try a few of them a couple of years ago and the necks were really nice even tho they are a little wider than my Jazz bass. At the end of the day i do have other basses with wider necks and i have no real problems changing over. I also have 5 and 6 string basses but the Jazz is my preferred width but its not a deal breaker provided the Sandberg bass is good quality build like the ones i've already tried. They get great reviews from most everyone. Dave Quote
Linus27 Posted April 5, 2019 Posted April 5, 2019 I've just enquired about having the following made but in fretless and a little less relic. If he can't do fretless then fretted but with blocks and binding. 4 Quote

I've not been able to find a secondhand unlined fretless Fender to my spec anywhere and the fact that Fender don't even make an standard unlined fretless Jazz or Precision limits my options even further. So a Limelight just ticks all the boxes. 1 Quote

At least offer an option. It's probably a hang-over of the Jaco Jazz which he stripped the frets out of. But actually putting lines onto an unmarked fretless neck seems moronic to me. I might pick up an affordable used Jazz somewhere and spend on getting an unlined board fitted. btw, am in contact with Mark about a '64 P, Lake Placid... Edited September 27, 2019 by Soledad Quote

It was ready at the beginning of August but Mark accidently put a lined board on it So I'm just waiting for it to have the unlined neck fitted. Hopefully any day now.

lou24d53 Posted September 27, 2019 Posted September 27, 2019 Thanks, I was wondering if it was that, but I would've thought the hole would've been directly below the string rather than being offset, but I see it now... Quote

Basically I 'need' a lake placid P, and a fretless Jazz, unlined and maybe that mucky white colour with tort plate. (See the CS Jazz for sale on here - that but unlined fretless👍👍👍) 2 Quote
