As a kid growing up in the 80's, fretless was right at the forefront for me, despite at the time not knowing it was a thing, I vividly remember listening to Sting and Paul Young thanks to my older sisters playing 80's music throughout the house day in day out. When I picked up the bass in the late 80's, one of my goals in life was to become a competent fretless bassist and these days, for the last 10 years, I've only played fretless. Only recently have I had to buy a fretted bass for a new project but it was super hard going back to a fretted bass with all those messy lines and dots all over the place, playing unlined fretless is so much easier. I've had 14 fretless basses in total and currently have 3 really good ones. Below are what I have or have had. Fender Japan 62RI Fretless Jazz x4 Fender Japan 60's Classic Fretless Jazz x1 Fender Japan 60RI Fretless Precision x1 Fender Japan Precision with Fretless Status Graphite Neck x1 Fender Mexican 70RI Precision with Custom Maple Fretless Neck x1 EBMM Stingray SR4 with Fretless Pau Ferro Neck x1 EBMM Stingray SR4 with Fretless Rosewood Neck x1 Warwick Streamer Jazzman Fretless x1 Limelight 60RI Fretless Jazz x1 Squire VM Jazz Fretless x1 Unknown Fretless Bass x1 I am super tempted to buy the cheaper Pino fretless as I think it would be fun to have in the collection. Here's a few pictures from what I can find quickly.

Some lovely basses there fella. I have 2 fretted and 2 fretless currently, my main fretless is a beautiful ACG Krell 5 string Alan built to my spec a few years ago, it's a work of art, seen here with it's fretted brethren.

Violent Femmes 2025...look at what Brian Ritchie's playing
jd56hawk replied to jd56hawk's topic in Bass Guitars
It's for those who like to play unplugged. Not for me, I have two Dean Exotica acoustic basses and I always plug in...it's all about the tone. I'm not saying my Deans sound better, but I bet they do. Other than that, Brian seems to like it because he's playing it again and again. -

Hi Folks - up for sale is a Maruszczyk Elwood L 6P bass. Original owner, I had the bass made in June 2017. Here's the specs: 24 fret - flame maple neck with a bound ebony fingerboard, 34 inch scale Passive Volume/Blend/Tone controls, Sadowsky-style knobs Olympic White on alder body Hipshot A bridge - 19mm adjustable spacing Hipshot Ultralite Y-tuners Delano JSBC-HE pickups Weight is 4.3kg Deluxe gigbag included. The bass is in excellent condition, with a few minor nicks on the headstock. The neck originally had a rosewood fingerboard when it was made, but the truss rod was made of cheese and snapped in early 2021. I had the fingerboard replaced with ebony and had carbon fibre rods added at the time. Work was done by Balazs Prohaszka at the Avalon Guitar company in N.Ireland. Here's some of his own work: https://prohaszkaguitars.com/ The same bass spec'd today from Maruszczyk is €2620, working out at £2275. I'm selling this for £1350 including shipping within the UK. Insured shipping at your cost. Bass comes with a semi-rigid deluxe gigbag and will be very well packed. And now the pics:

Defo take a towel at least. And water. You don’t realise the heat that can be on stages. And you’ll hopefully be having a great time so end up a sweaty mess. Maybe that’s just me. 😂
