NBD: Fretless single coil Precision

[Beedster]

Pictures say all that needs to be said, it's taken me a while to get here, but I suspect that of all the fretless Precisions I've owned (P, PJ, PP, PM) and all of the board materials I've used with them - rosewood, ebony, maple, graphite - this is by a long way the sweetest. Classic Vibe body, PUP, and circuit (the PUP as I'd been told would be the case, is very very good indeed), paired with a stunning Warmoth neck. First rehearsal tonight

J neck? Looks nice and narrow at the nut.

Deceptive, it's a classically chunky baseball bat of a neck with 41mm nut 👍

I’m sure we’d all like to hear some audio, if it’s at all possible. When I say we, I really mean me, but I’m guessing there might be others too.

Well f*** me, that was interesting. That is one HOT pickup, very high output and very grunty indeed, something I'd not really noticed playing it at home but which soon became pretty clear through my Mesa rig at volume last night. It's pretty close to the strings so I'm going to start there but may look to put something a little milder in there.......

Is it a 2 octave neck?!

Yep

Very nice indeed. This is something I thought about doing and even looked at putting a fretless neck on the yellow Mike Dirnt when I had one. he pickups are awesome and the original Mike Dirnt neck is a baseball bat so it would have made it quite playable with a fretless neck.

I wondered about that. Extended fingerboard then
