thedontcarebear Posted June 19, 2009 Posted June 19, 2009 I really want a fretless, I just got 2 "new" basses, a Warmoth Jazz and an American ash bodied Fender Precision. Should I get a fretless neck and turn one of them into a fretless, or sell them, even though I just got them and get an awesome fretless, or just buy a cheap fretless next month when I have the cash? Or offer one for trade in return for a fretless? Quote
caruso Posted June 19, 2009 Posted June 19, 2009 All depends on how serious you are about playing fretless. If fretless is the way you wanto to go, sell both and buy a serious fretless bass. If you are just looking into it, buy a chaep one and keep the Warmoth and Precision. If you don't need both (Warmoth and Precison) but do like the sound make the Warmoth your fretless. Quote
Beedster Posted June 19, 2009 Posted June 19, 2009 Buy a Fender fit fretless neck on ebay, it should fit either bass (if they're the basses I think they are). I've a fretless Jazz and a fretless Precision, rounds and J-Retro on the jazz make it a very lively bass, La Bella deep talkers on the Precision makes it thumpy and uprighty. Fretless is many things and you might need to try a few options to find your fretless tone Chris Quote
thedontcarebear Posted June 19, 2009 Author Posted June 19, 2009 Think I might just get a neck then, there is a mighty mite one for cheap from America, that seems okay and very cheap. Nick (doctor of the bass) has a fretless with a mighty mite neck and that was really nice. Quote
lemmywinks Posted June 19, 2009 Posted June 19, 2009 I have a Mighty Mite P neck on my bitsa Jazz and it's very nice. Only mwahs when i tell it to! Not sure i prefer the ebanol to wood, it's marking up already and i was told it would last ages. Sounds very natural though Quote
lozbass Posted June 20, 2009 Posted June 20, 2009 Sell your basses and buy my Fender Masterbuilt Fretless Jazz - it's bl**dy stunning but I'll never be able to play it as long as I've got etc... Quote
Delberthot Posted June 20, 2009 Posted June 20, 2009 (edited) I need to get along to the post office as they have a Mighty Mite neck fretless neck waiting for me. I'm going to be putting it on my Warmoth SCPB. I will be using this as my sole bass and then probably selling the squier VM fretless Jazz that I have been using solely for the last couple of gigs - and will be using tonight They are good necks - I've had one before. If I finally decide to go permanently fretless I may get a Warmoth one made but the Warmoth ones are pretty chunky Edited June 20, 2009 by Delberthot Quote
