I can certainly vouch for the quality and attention to detail of Prosebasses work. Value for money in bucket loads, innovation, unique and a great guy to deal with.

Looks lovely... And I'm after a fretless at the moment. I was leaning towards a Squier VM fretless though as I have a Jap Jazz too. How different to a Jazz is it? Apart from a slightly thicker neck?

Just off to my works Christmas do now, so I'll have to refrain from coming home drunk and snapping it up

In that case I will refuse to sell it to you later.....

It has more bottom end, middle and growl than a Jazz but then different Precisions and Jazz's sound different and a lot is your fingers.... I had a Squier Jazz and until I put a J-East retro and uprated pups (about £150.00) it sounded crap and always felt flimsy. The Mighty Mite necks I use are a licensed direct replacement for Fenders and are much superior to Squier items. I build my basses to be played and although aesthetics are important I think sound / price ratio is more important.
If you need some sound clips I'll try and get some posted later.

Hi Prose, are you going to be making these on a regular basis? I'm not flush with cash at the moment having just bought a pile of prezzies, but I'd be very interested next year. Just looking for a basic waxed natural fretless P a bit like this one....

Cheers

Could you let me know when you are making another one. Christmas and all that. looks a nice bass.

Friday night pre drink bump.....I'll probably lower the price in a few beers.....

[RussFM]

Can I buy you a double whiskey?

Really nice looking bass. Shame I have no money and even less need for a fretless. (But when has GAS ever been about need?)

everyone should have a fretless in their arsenal and a chorus pedal just to annoy our uber cool bretheren who think there is something wrong with 1980's bass playing...

[BigBeatNut]

Nice work again.

Will definitely be in touch for something like this in the new year.

[Mace]

Can you build a 5 string version?! I'd have one of them for sure! (altho lined with fret dots where they live on a fretted bass for me)

[joe_bass]

I'm going to chime in with others on here & say I'd be very interested in something like this sometime in the new year.

[Shockwave]

I wouldnt mind this if it had a finish on it. Not a fan of multi peice wood on show Maybe if it was completely sprayed black i would definitely take it!

[Prosebass]

Black Black Black why do you keep me in the cupboard mother and feed me pins ?

...Can be arranged , I'll leave it for a week or so and then maybe spray it up.
