tauzero Posted December 10 Share Posted December 10 (edited) One on Gumtree: https://www.gumtree.com/p/guitar-instrument/radical-bass-boucher-brothers-fretless-bass/1489130782 I believe it's https://www.facebook.com/photo/?fbid=1620928134797937&set=pb.100067650472148.-2207520000 - it's only four strings and it's got a thick neck so not one for me. I wonder if there's a truss rod. Edited December 10 by tauzero Added photo evidence Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lemmywinks Posted December 10 Share Posted December 10 Once again I'm amazed that someone with decent woodworking skills can be happy with that shape as their final design. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigRedX Posted December 11 Share Posted December 11 Plenty of guitar designs go to show that technical ability with tools does not necessarily go hand in hand with aesthetic awareness. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grooverjr Posted December 12 Share Posted December 12 Almost inconceivably ugly. It will never play, anyway - someone nicked the pups and replaced them with giant Jenga blocks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tauzero Posted December 12 Author Share Posted December 12 There are three basses shown on the Facebook link, and one of them is quite attractive. Not this one, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or, indeed, if only Spear And Jackson made a bass guitar.... The body seems very short, and the bridge is commensurately closer to the neck. So I wonder if the 12th fret is in the right place. Actually, on reflection, the 12th fret, and the bass, are both in exactly the right place - in Norfolk, 200 miles away from me. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
