Steve A Posted September 11, 2007 Share Posted September 11, 2007 (edited) Sadly I'm having to sell my beautiful Pensa Custom fretless 4 string. This bass is, in my opinion, the best playing and sounding fretless I have ever played. It doesn't get a huge amount of use but I did hope to play it in a jazz trio I recently started. Unfortunately I need to sell this beauty in order to free up my financial situation. The bass was made in 1996 for an American session player, the date of this transaction and the player's initials appear on the neck plate. The bass is in good condition apart from a few dings on the lower horn and top edge near the bottom of the bass. Not sure of the body wood but it's possibly Alder and the fingerboard is ebony with lines. Chrome hardware with Badass bridge and Hipshot D-tuner. The pickups are incredible Lindy Fralins and the Pensa electronics comprise pickup volume (x2), treble, bass (in active mode) and a selector switch which gives active, passive and mute. The treble knob is also a passive tone control. The sound is huge and warm, the back pickup is honky and tight, but beautiful! £1000.

Nick[/quote] Hi Nick, No it wasn't but I bought this fretless off a chap who was selling a fretted Pensa Suhr as well. I hope this doesn't sell. At the same time I hope it does ....
