Hand made 5 string fretless

[Annoying Twit]

I like this somehow. Looks funky and different. Unless it's a copy of something I'm not familiar with.

Not exactly a copy but very influenced by [url="http://www.ctbasses.com/"]Carl Thompson[/url].

I see the influence. Amused to see the "£10 million bass" on that site.

Returning to the original listing, I just noticed this:

Looking forward to seeing it in the flesh/wood on Monday then.

I like that, very sleek & economical styling.

You can imagine Wishbasses might be a bit like that if it wasn't for the drugs.

Interesting to see that he's copied my least favourite feature of the CT bass - the "bobble" around the jack socket, which on a proper CT is needed because the body would otherwise be too thin to accept the socket (and jack plug). Judging from the other photos that's not the case with this bass.

If you get to try it out please report back here with your findings.

Ahem. I don't think I'm really qualified to give a good review of any bass. But a fretless? Erm, ......

I'll say what it looks like up close

I thought this looked very nice close up. I didn't try and play it, but had a close look. Not that I'd claim to really know, but I thought the workmanship looked very good, and the whole overall effect very visually pleasing.

how/where is string height adjusted?

By having a new bridge made just like on a real CT fretless bass.
