Beedster Posted May 15, 2009 Share Posted May 15, 2009 (edited) Lovely fretless Jazz, pretty much as new. Great tone, playability and aesthetics. Traded recently as an experiment with lined fretless (I play unlined but often struggle with intonation live) but decided I'm going to persevere with unlined, hence my letting this go. TBH I'd like to keep it but I think three fretlesses is overkill (some will no doubt disagree) It's in 9.9/10 condition hence the price (they go for close to £700 new I believe). Trades certainly considered, I'm looking for the following: EUB, as close to full length as possible (cash from you or me depending on bass) Markbass Traveller 1x15 cab new shape (would need a bit of cash my way) Markbass 1x10 or 1x12 combo Maple board fretless Precision neck (bit of cash my way depending on the neck) Maple board fretless Precision Bass (quite a bit of cash your way depending on the bass) Or anything you think I might just go for.....

Beedster Posted May 15, 2009 Author Share Posted May 15, 2009 PS just played it again and forgot to mention that it has those lovely vintage-style reverse tuners as well as the old style slotted saddles, both of which add some nice mojo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beedster Posted May 16, 2009 Author Share Posted May 16, 2009 I'll do this for £350 i.e., *FRETLESS BARGAIN OF THE CENTURY* but only if collected from my place in Canterbury this weekend, otherwise it's back as above. Looks like the long-awaited and often fallen through house purchase is finally a goer so we're in the process of packing things up and I want to take as little as possible into the new place. I'm afraid time constraints with the move and rehearsals mean I can't really offer several cups of tea and 2 hour play of the bass, but at this price, who cares eh Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
