jimbaby Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 Hi all I have been playing for about six months, started with a Squier Bronco and recently bought an AXL player deluxe fretless which has been slightly modified (maple inlays fitted where there were originally grooves). My amp is a Trace Elliot 65w combo. The difference in quality between the two basses is incredible, the AXL being far better made and finished, it also sounds much better but is more difficult to play (can't have it all I suppose). Looking forward to reading and posting in your fine forum. Regards Jim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimbaby Posted February 21, 2009 Author Share Posted February 21, 2009 Hi Thanks for the replies guys, Andy, when I bought the AXL the previous owner had a setup done and some light mods carried out but the action seems a bit high. I have only had this bass for a couple of weeks so still getting used to it and the first time I have played a fretless, when I become more familiar with it I will have it set up for my playing style (rough to awful).
