There's very few bass tones that can't be squeezed out of this thing one way of another In this guise - wish I had the money!!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was thinking about you when I wrote the above post mate because I nearly wrote "There's very few of Flea's tones that you can't coax out of this", does everything from BSSM to the more mellow Jazz/flats tones of some of his more recent stuff. If I played fretted to any degree I'd keep it like this as the different PUP types and configurations are far more noticeable on a fretted with rounds than as a fretless with flats (funny thing about my frteless playing is that whichever bass I play - and when it comes to fretless I've had Precision, Jazz, 'Ray, Wal, Rick, Status, Sadowsky, and Warmoth, and they all sound like me rather than I sound like them......) Buy a lottery ticket mate, I'd love this (fretted version) to go to you 👍 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Musicman666 Posted April 2, 2023 Share Posted April 2, 2023 if you are still on a journey for that ultimate fretless you ought to put status graphite on that audition list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really shouldn’t have sold it. I still really want this bass too but can’t afford it… so, bump for a beautiful boutique fretless at a bargain price 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
