Bassman Sam Posted April 20, 2019 Share Posted April 20, 2019 My first self built bass. I bought a fretless neck and a loaded body from here and sourced the other bits from ebay. Finally got around to building it today but made a school boy error. I forgot to buy the strings. Our own Gary Mac is doing the honours so I should be up and running next weekend. I've not played fretless since the '70's so it will be interesting to so how it goes. Anyway, there's the picture. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It feels nice as it is and I'll be using flats. If I was going to use rounds, I'd have it lacquered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
