Hellzero Posted November 16, 2022 Posted November 16, 2022 I had the 8 strings version... One of the best fretless bass in the world, in the top 3, and sorry but the F-Bass Alain Caron is not one of the 2 others, even if it's in the top 10. 1 3
Chris2112 Posted November 16, 2022 Posted November 16, 2022 Beautiful instrument. If I didn't have a Pedulla and Manne in my fretless cupboard already!
SzunaP Posted November 16, 2022 Posted November 16, 2022 Lovely piece, never saw this earlier... I have a similar hollowbody bass called Frudua Realbass, 5 str version. Love this kinda sound of "semi bass guit, semi double bass"... 2
marcblum Posted November 16, 2022 Posted November 16, 2022 If I hadn't one of the 3 best fretless there are... If it only had a neck pickup... 2

Paulhauser Posted December 21, 2022 Posted December 21, 2022 Could your please let me know what is the string spacing at the bridge? Does it have any case in which to ship? Slightly off, but I'm curious @Hellzeroand @marcblum what is your top 3 fretless basses you were referring to?
