TheRev Posted May 3, 2023 Share Posted May 3, 2023 (edited) I've had this lovely little bass for about three years, but with three 'big fretless' basses in the house, I'm just not playing it enough and it's time for it to go to a new home. It's short scale (30"), passive & green! Everything works as it should, the neck is straight, no dents or major blemishes anywhere. The passive tone controls (V/T + pickup selector) are the best I've encountered and actually do stuff to the sound as you turn them, rather than the usual everything happens in the last 1/8th of the pot travel. The fingerboard is unlined, with side position markers and it's currently strung with roundwounds. I'd say it's definitely green, but Mrs Rev says turquoise - either way, the photos are an accurate representation of the colour. Comes with a padded gig bag. I can record sound samples if anyone wants them. I'd prefer collection or local-ish meet up (I'm in Dorset quite a lot...) but a courier can be arranged at additional cost. These really are well-built basses and I've tried to find a reason to keep it, but I'm 100% on double bass these days and that's unlikely to change any time soon. Churrz!

dmckee Posted May 4, 2023 Share Posted May 4, 2023 What’s the weight and how’s the balance on a strap? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheRev Posted May 4, 2023 Author Share Posted May 4, 2023 12 hours ago, dmckee said: What’s the weight and how’s the balance on a strap? Weight is about 8.5lbs, according to the Chowny website. It tends to want to hang horizontal, a grippy strap definitely helps keep it at my preferred playing angle. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave My other SWB-1 had the same tendency, fixed with a grippy strap and some Hipshots (via BC). Exchange date agreed, just need to wait for the days to roll on. I have been looking for a fretless SWB-1 for quite a long while, so I am really looking forward to the nbd Edited May 4, 2023 by 3below Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
