Leonard Smalls Posted September 21, 2020 Posted September 21, 2020 I've done it... Bought one of those new-fangled optical pick-up fretless thingies. It's arriving tomorrow and should look like this: Now our band will be able to do proper punkfunk versions of all those Paul Young hits of the 80s! 6 Quote
songofthewind Posted September 21, 2020 Posted September 21, 2020 Crikey. What is it and where did you get it? Quote
BigRedX Posted September 21, 2020 Posted September 21, 2020 Very nice. Not very new-fangled though. I bought one second-hand back in 2007 when it was already on the the 2nd or 3rd iteration. Still, a great bass for fretless. I'd consider a 5-string version if I ever joined another band that required fretless bass. Quote

But then I've just graduated from a single string attached to a broom handle in a tea chest 😁 And it's a Lightwave Sabre fretless. I'm hoping it'll make me sound just like Remco, though I've failed on the hair already! 1 Quote

TheGreek Posted September 25, 2020 Posted September 25, 2020 Lollipop sticks?? You don't know how easy you had it. I was given an acorn to plant - still waiting for it to grow. Quote
