knirirr Posted June 19, 2022 Share Posted June 19, 2022 (edited) I got this bass in 2018 after looking for one since the 1990s with no success. But, as I can play the DB that's inevitably what everyone asks for and this Fender never gets played any more. When fretless is called for my other one (which no-one will want to buy) usually fits the bill better. Therefore, it might as well be offered to someone who will make good use of it rather than sit in a corner in its (somewhat tatty, Thomann-branded) case. The only changes since I got it are a professional setup and the fitting of TI Jazz flatwounds. The strap can be included, if you want it. I don't plan to drop the price as I don't really need to sell this, and I'm not interested in trades at the moment - sorry about that. Apologies for the poor photos; having some trouble with the phone camera. Edited April 8, 2023 by knirirr Sold! 16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slapathy Posted July 24, 2022 Share Posted July 24, 2022 Hi, is this bass still for sale? I'm looking for an un(side)marked unlined 4 string fretless Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knirirr Posted July 25, 2022 Author Share Posted July 25, 2022 It is indeed still available, and has dot markers along the side but nothing on the fingerboard. If you need a photo of those I'll see what I can do later on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knirirr Posted July 25, 2022 Author Share Posted July 25, 2022 Here's a view of the markers. I note that there are a couple of similar unlined fretless basses for sale here at the moment, a P and a PJ. Of course, when I was trying to buy one there were none to be had anywhere!

Undertone Posted December 15, 2022 Share Posted December 15, 2022 Hi - sorry for what probably seems a stupid question but was it fretless out of the factory please? ie. fretless originally. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knirirr Posted December 16, 2022 Author Share Posted December 16, 2022 Yes, these were made as fretless models. As far as I know, Fender only made Fretless Precisions (!) in the 70s, and the only unlined Fender Jazzes were these 80s/90s Japanese ones.

oldslapper Posted April 5, 2023 Share Posted April 5, 2023 I’m surprised it’s not turned red with blushing, what with me and young Chris ogling it. 👓 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
