Calling all fretless players

I've recently bought my first fretless. Its a very lovely sounding VM Jazz.

Being new to this sort of thing I'm looking for some advice regarding intonation, setup, strings, study pieces etc etc. basically anything that can help me on my merry way.

It sounds awesome. I should have bought one ages ago

Just need to work out how to play it now

How much would postage be to S Wales cf448pg mate?

Dont put it on ebay bud
Pm' d

I'm not feeling so confident anymore

Well it only cost me £150 so I think I'll go for it

How hard can it be ;-)

Interesting idea Matt

More food for thought

I've had a look at a few threads on defretting and it doesn't look too hard

hmmm

So defretting seems out then

Lol

I have a rockbass corvette which has now become redundant due to my recent bb2004 purchase the question is what to do with it?

Do I:

1, keep it as a just in case kind of spare
2, sell it
3, rip the frets out of it

Having never tried a fretless I'm not sure about number 3 but at the same time very intrigued

Help

[sub][size=5]Nice one bud. The bass is fantastic. I haven't touched the Shuker since I bought it. Couldn't be happier. Ithink your going to miss this one Nige[/size][/sub]

I've just bought an awesome BB2004 from Plumbob. I've been looking on the net for some way to determine its age but no luck. The serial number is QML249003. Can anyone help me?

That's good news, can't imagine it would be a pleasant atmosphere to work in though.

Probably not mate but I dont really care. There's not a lot of work out there

Thanks peeps

I recently bought a BB2004 and its fantastic

Thanks man

It looks like I've just won my case for unfair dismissal and they've offered my old job back

[size=5]I was recently made redundant so I decieded to have a little treat before the wife spent it all on a kitchen. I placed an add in the wanted section for a Yamaha bb604 but thanks to Plumbob (Nigel) I ended up with something much better.

Bought a yamaha bb2004 from Nigel this morning.
A top bass from a top bloke
Cheers Nige

Maybe I'll just use my head phone's :-)

Im looking to lower the noise heard upstairs in my house.

So I'd be better off putting in a false ceiling with sound proof board?

Ill drop the foam idea then. Thanks for saving me some cash Mr Foxen

I'd be very interested to read your review dood

Simple question, does it work?

Thanks Paul

Glad your happy with it

I just picked up a second hand Hartke HA3000 so its not exactly new but.......

First impressions are good, very good

Loads of tones on hand, easy to use, tons of power and built like a tank, what more could a boy want.

And considering the £60 price tag I think I had a bargain

Top this all off with a convincing win with the rugby yesterday and I'm one happy chappy
