    Errr, Fender?!

    Interesting... this is a four-string version of the five-string fretless Thomann were selling as a Harley Benton HBZ-6000 (I think). And the headstock looks very Peavey. I have the fiver, I love it to bits.

    What sort of tension are they?

    I bought a pickup from Alex. Quick turnround, well packaged. I'd be happy to deal with him again. Thanks

    It went for £2600.

    How loud is it? Does it compete with an acoustic guitar?
  7. alyctes
    I think it might be heavy... the buyer would have to be an athlete.

    I had one of those for a while. (Not in the 80s, mind.)

    It's the only music station I listen to. (Well, apart from the Radio 2 Folk Show Presented by... yup. Mark Radcliffe.) I don't like Craig Charles much, TBH. Music's fine, I just find him annoying.

    There's no need to make a whole meal of it... tut tut.

    Tempting. What does it sound like? I guess it's a piezo pickup?

    Aesthetically I don't mind that, though I think it's not priced to sell. I quite like the headstock, much better than a lot of the pointy ones. It's probably more comfortable than it looks. It does look a bit like a crumpled envelope though. Looks like a P pickup in a bespoke housing.

    Looks: 3/10. Bridge: double saddles. 4/10. Ergonomics: Can't play it sitting down. According to the seller it doesn't dive. 4/10. I'm definitely plumping for the "weird" camp, myself.

    Thanks, that's exacttly what I wanted to know.
  15. alyctes
    Does it have side dots? If it does, are they on the "fret positions", or between them? Thanks.

    I like the idea of a sunburst scratchplate. Elegant GLWYS!

    Sweet, thank you!

    Wow.... I am so tempted to try to arrange a visit... I really, really want to know what that sounds like.

    Pretty

    I doubt it will wear well. But until then... (I think it's hideous, actually.) https://reverb.com/uk/item/64452353-epiphone-jack-casady-mid-00s-black-custom-gold-fretless

    Interesting definition of "buttercream", too. At least if my hasty search against "fender buttercream" is anything to go by.
  22. alyctes
    This is wonderful. Many, many thanks!
  23. alyctes
    Mmmm. Tempting, not least because I have a fretless one. I'll have a think.
  24. alyctes
    They seem to make googly eyes at you. Spoooky.

    I couldn't justify anything over £800. I suppose for an upright I might go to £1000, but I'd probably have to replace my car as well then...
