knirirr Posted June 19, 2022 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
Velarian Posted June 19, 2022 Posted June 19, 2022 @Linus27 are you still looking for an unlined fretless jazz?
Old Horse Murphy Posted June 19, 2022 Posted June 19, 2022 My bitsa Fretless has one of these Japanese necks and they are sublime 👍 4

slapathy Posted July 24, 2022 Posted July 24, 2022 Hi, is this bass still for sale? I'm looking for an un(side)marked unlined 4 string fretless
knirirr Posted July 25, 2022 Author 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.
knirirr Posted July 25, 2022 Author 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 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
knirirr Posted December 16, 2022 Author 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.
ead Posted December 29, 2022 Posted December 29, 2022 Lovely basses, I had one as my first proper fretless bass a while back. GLWTS. 1

oldslapper Posted April 5, 2023 Posted April 5, 2023 I’m surprised it’s not turned red with blushing, what with me and young Chris ogling it. 👓 2
