Clarky Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 (edited) Oddballest of the oddball, an uber-rare fretless banjo bass, made by Gold Tone. Cost me over £600 to import from US (doh!) but I would be prepared to let go for £250 picked up in London or with post an extra £15-20. Mag pickup and Thomastik flatwound strings on it but originally had clanky roundwounds on. Its a little agricultural sounding (quite boomy on the lows and banjo-ey on the highs) but fun and looks very cool for anything Americana related. Comes with slightly battered hard case (one clasp sheared) and shoulder strap. Please note the side dots are seemingly at random so I use blobs of Tippex for intonation ....
