I've decided to move on my franken P as I'm playing six strings exclusively, there are in progress pics as well as completed pics in [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=13159&view=findpost&p=192150"]this post[/url]. I'll get some more pics up when time permits.

It's a stunning looking bass with a nice low action. In summary

- lovely figured maple fretboard
- two piece swamp ash body
- piezo bridge
- dimarzio model P pickup (i think, definately dimarzio tho')
- vol/tone control for pickup/bridge
- 9v homebrew preamp for the piezo

but all the details are in the thread above.

As far as price goes, I'd be looking for offers around £250, but I would be interested in trade for a fretless

I would be more than happy for people to come and have a look and a try out (in facy I'd prefer it really)

Good work on that one.[/quote]

nice body shot

the chattoyance (I think that's the word) on the body wood is beautiful, especially in sunlight, which admittedly is a problem in manchester

That's a unique & individual P for not a lot of brass. :)

decided to bump this as I fancy having another go at fretless.

Ideally I'm looking for a fretless jazz (olly white/tort/rosewood would be astoundingly good) but I'll consider trades for anything really as long as it's fretless. I can do a cash adjustment each way

cheers
