    Just bought Chay's nice old Ibanez Roadstar. He deserves an award for rapid takedown and good repacking in the face of inappropriate cars A good transaction, a conscientious and thoughtful seller. I'd be pleased to deal with him again. Thanks!.

    ... or any kind of money. Frankly, they'd have to pay me to take it away...

    [quote name='neepheid' timestamp='1358582417' post='1941596'] I will have one with me from the impoverished (and undead) side of the family, a resurrected BB450 [/quote] Is that the one I gave to Roland Rock? I'd be pleased to know it's back together, and glad someone could do something with it.

    what KiOgon said

    Two things, for me: flexibility, and the lovely noise - especially from a P-style pup. Flexibility because it can do anything a fretted can (though it's quite a bit harder, for, say, tapping), plus slides, trapping harmonics, etc.. (Not that I personally can do these things, you understand ) Practicing on fretless improves my fretted intonation, BTW. I recommend the Yamaha RBX200F as a starter, if your defret goes badly. (Also the unlined board can look very very cool, if that floats your boat. Example: [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/165919-veillette-paris-fretless-4-price-reduced-again-l1200/page__hl__veillette%20paris"]http://basschat.co.u...illette%20paris[/url] . And I don't even like blue basses... )

    I looked at it and saw this: "[size="4"][color="red"]found this on the web, I can not say if it is for this guitar or not, but it looks very close.[/color][/size]" So, seller has a near-new bass, has a guitar shop, but doesn't know if this is the right description? Either he can't read, or he can't write. No sale.

    What's the neck profile like? P-ish. J-ish, something else? And, any trade interest? I have a nice fretless Squier J I'm not getting on with

    [quote name='TimR' timestamp='1357076740' post='1917308'] Yes. I can believe that. All his best stuff was done in the '70s. Don't know how the 'Antmusic' and subsequent 'highwayman' thing came about, I suspect it was something they agreed to do to increase their appeal. [/quote] I seem to remember that nice Mr McLaren had something to do with all that?

    Set of 4, good condition, bushes, no screws. Bought here for a project which is not going to happen. £12 posted.

    I have a used Hohner Professional 5-string which is very nice (thanks Geoff . If you can find one, they seem to go for about £200.

    Aria Sinsonido sounds pretty good. Fretless is better for the tone.
