    [quote name='GarethFlatlands' timestamp='1343758599' post='1754801'] Very nice! [/quote] Thanks it's a class bass but not getting the attention it deserves, I'm open to sensible offers but sorry no trades unless someone has a nice Moog Minitaur or Prodigy.....

    [quote name='Sambrook' timestamp='1343679160' post='1753661'] That's rather lovely! What are the neck dimensions (width and depth)? [/quote] It measures 42mm width at the nut and 18mm deep, cheers it is a nice instrument.

    This is my modded JV Precision, it's an '83 model made in Japan ofcourse and has all the ID stamps on the body, neck butt, etc, plus the usual Fender stamped shim in the neck pocket. I bought this because it has such a lovely neck and at the time I hadn't played a decent fretless before. The board is unlined ebony and has dots on the side to indicate the marker positions - not each fret, I have found it an easy bass to play and very intuitive. The second mod is that the original pickups have been replaced with EMGs with a matching Jazz pickup at the bridge. The electrics are a simple volume, volume, tone - the active pickups really bring out the fretless 'mwar' sound beloved of Jaco, Pino, et al. Like all the JV series construction is second to none with excellent balance and a light weight. The bass has the usual JV hardware - reverse tuners, threaded bridge, extra strap button behind the headstock. The scratch plate is a replacement as when I bought it it had a horrible home made one on it and non matching controls. The neck plate has the JV serial stamped on it. Condition wise it has quite a few dings and scrapes and where the Jazz pickup was routed there was a chunk out of the wood subsequently filled and varnished in an attempt to disguise it. It doesn't detract from the overall 'vibe' of the instrument and it could be quite honestly called 'road worn' without being near an over zealous belt sander! The back of the neck is beautifully figured and has barely a mark on it. This is a great sounding instrument and very easy to play but presently neglected so I'd like to gauge interest in a potential sale to perhaps free up some cash. I'm looking at £395 and am not interested in trades as I really need to trim down my collection of gear!

    Cheers, looking forward to getting it having owned several Status 5s. I've stopped playing 5s but have always fancied a 6 but didn't want to pay £££££ for something I may not get on with so this is perfect. The string spacing looks good too - and yes I'm familiar with that lovely shallow Status neck profile!

    Yep was watching that and got it!

    I have the same model but in original black finish, as GeeCee points out the bridge is a Schaller 3D. The pole pieces don't line up with the spacing but it doesn't seem to bother tone or volume on my bass, just looks odd! I think the original pickup is a Dimarzio, Doug is a great builder and these fretless models are a testament to his innovative designs. It's a shame they don't get the same recognition as some UK custom makers as they were/are superbly made - I'm still looking for a fretted one to match my 'Percussive Fretless' but people tend to hang on to them! I'd agree with Cairobill and drop Doug a line, although I believe he does post on this forum occasionally.

    Any interest in my 3/4 Antonini has an ebony board fitted, wenge nut, schallers and ashworth pickup?
  23. ash
    It's a bitsa homemade job by the looks of things and probably unplayable but the Hofner parts mean it could be useful for spares. Initially I thought it was a Burns Sonic that had had a transplant, could also be based around an Orpheus or some other obscure brand - those tuners look like they've been taken from an old Spanish guitar!
