    Ive contacted overwater for a specific build as a tour next year requires a fretless five string. The only other fretless I own is a 1976 Stingray that I don't fancy taking the road!

    MM humbucker in the bridge & a lovely walnut top (including headstock veneer)

    I really, really fancy one of those, but at £7K? Ut-ut.

    You get what you pay for with most custom basses.

    Having seen what these guys put in to the design and construction of their basses, they're definitely worth 7 times a production line assembled Fender.

     

    I know a lot of folks are more than happy to play a Fender, but I'm very glad folks like Le Fay are around.

     

    Just my 2p.

    I'm trying to justify a five string in a punk band.  Tuned down to A, to boot.

     

    Just put the bass down.  Thought it looked splendid.

  4. Here's my little rig!

    GK Legacy 500 into 2 x Barefaced One10 cabs.
    From June 2022, I've since changed the grilles on the cabs, with the new BF logos, and the pedals have changed a bit, but you get the idea...

    Morning all. Just wanted to post an apology for less activity. 
     

    Turns out the gastroenteritis I thought I had was actually a form of colitis. Bit of a rough summer with a few trips to hospital, tests, etc etc.  However I’m coming back to life again and will shoot some video and post some updates. I’ve had a while to live with the bass as it is and it’s been useful. 

    Sorry to hear you've been ill dude.

    Good to know you're on the mend though.

    Lovely bass!

     

    I've been toying with this idea of putting a TB pickup into a Fender shortie.

    Got a leftover humbucker from Gibson LPDC Tribute bass.

    Fully repackaged into a nickel cover, nickel baseplate and with a nickel ring.

    Just don't want to ruin a Mustang bass: the model I like (JMJ) is good as-is.

     

    Perhaps, I could find an old and previously abused MusicMaster.

    Not sure if a TB pickup (plus a ring) would fit the smaller pickguard footprint.

     

    Something to think about.

    You're unlikely to find a Musicmaster for a price your be happy with butchering.

    I'd look at a more recent Squier offering, or maybe even a Bronco?

    The GS range is my favourite sounding Aguilar cabs.. I had a pair of 12's with various heads over the years..then stupidly sold them because I was romanced by the lure of SL12s being lighter..

    Soon found out that they were totally not my sound at all.. so eventually sold them & found someone selling 2 pristine hardly used ones.... Bought them for the same price as my original new ones! Win win!!

    Ooooooffft, lucky lucky!

    I remember I paid £350 for mine way back when. I do still very much miss it!

     

    Anyway, enjoy dude!

    Rig 2: 

    Aguilar AG700 + 2 GS112s

    IMG_20230722_171659526~2.jpg

    That is an awesome rig!

    I love GS112 cabs, hard to find in good condition these days and I bet the AG700 is awesome through them!

    DFM and the MC pickups are a great combo.  Sadly I live a long way from the SE so not practical I suspect.  This is mine:

    @eude I can't remember if you have one in this spec.?

    Thanks @ead 😎

    I've not got a fretless with MC pups, but I have a headless 6 string with the DFM 4K preamp. I do also have a fretted 5er with the MC pups and a DFM 5K however.

     

    I've got a decent range of Alan's designs too, albeit in 31.5" scale, so the OP could see what shape fits well too.

     

    I've reached out on the Facebook post, South Croydon isn't too far so hopefully we can figure out something.
