    God No!! I've seen several Mr Pratt interviews...the content has virtually been the same..."tell us when you tried to smash up a Status live on stage" and "what was it like being in Pink Floyd" (even though nobody other than bass players know who he is). I can't watch another of his videos.

    I didn't get on with fretless for many years but TBH I didn't persevere. I bought a Yamaha TRB 5iif which was fantastic but traded it for the fretted version. Now I have "another " fretted bass. I miss my fretless.

    What do you gain? A better ear - with a fretted bass you take being in tune for granted as the frets do the work. With a fretless you have to listen more to what you are actually playing because it's easy to be out of tune. Even if you never play a fretless in a band situation it's a nice technique to try to develop. Buy wisely and you may not lose any money on selling.

    Though the shop closed just before Xmas they still have an online presence. I bought some pickups from them (at a very good price) recently. Good service too - notified me the day the pickups were being sent out. GLWTS

    I saw this earlier. I'm not sure if this is a good BIN price though. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/255912845007?hash=item3b95981ecf:g:BcMAAOSwSE1jtt2E&amdata=enc%3AAQAHAAAAoP%2BOoP9jgV7levd%2BIO6ayjOrFFaskNc1GsW6Scsr6fmuiFrxi4KXyjsZYaSe9l8sn8zNtWHhf36bUicwHp1%2B4j8PlG08aWfOR5gjhBJbR5apbFWR6YPgIGSaVtcKzsyUcxzvBJuQgjgf2kIQV5vcYJeIbVMwXhcXI1W%2F8sK4sl%2BCSd0NpKsErkj5PFYYxYyDzBMx5mvyKX28I3KKQyebFn4%3D|tkp%3ABk9SR9aG153IYQ

    I totally agree. Wal has defied the Bass Market by prices going through the ceiling while the prices of most other brands have either gone backwards or climbed slowly. I suspect some of the buyers are collectors, betting that prices will remain high. This may be true while demand is high and supply is low, but personally I couldn't gel with either of the two I had. I'm expecting the demand for GB Basses to rocket at some point - again supply and demand - but Bernie builds fantastic basses which players love. Wish I'd kept my Rumour.
