Schnozzalee Posted April 5, 2010 Author Share Posted April 5, 2010 For those of you preferring a fretted bass to get a whole new fingerboard fitted by a pro luthier costs £300 (Overwater Basses). If you keep the ebony and get frets placed where the lines are, it will cost £100-£200 tops, if that. Its still a damn sight cheaper than finding a mint condition new one with this unusual finish. Don't write off playing a fretless its a lot easier than it looks and does a lot more than just jazz - check Tony Franklin. Very easy to get a crisp slap sound with a thick slab of ebony, fretted or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm starting to get annoyed. It's probably the nicest L2500 I've seen and the price is nothing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schnozzalee Posted April 9, 2010 Author Share Posted April 9, 2010 (edited) Cheers guys, I noticed the other US G&L bass on the site went for 1100 Euros - thats gotta cover the extra cost of putting frets n then some if you really need to. This one is essentially new and has a rare finish n fingerboard as well as being professionally setup. I'm guessing they're double the price new? Its just first come first serve now. I haven't neglected it completely because I do love the tone and switches, i'm working out Santana's Aquamarine bassline on it until it sells/trades. Palladino meets Franklin meets Jaco (I have Bruce on hand with my Hoyer too! ) Edited April 9, 2010 by Schnozzalee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Schnozzalee Posted April 25, 2010 Author Share Posted April 25, 2010 Hit me with trades and PXs too or it'll be on Ebay. Fantastic bass - but I don't have hands big enough for a five string I guess, unless its really tight at the nut and has 24 frets - as I say small hands .
