[quote name='velvetkevorkian' post='572071' date='Aug 17 2009, 08:54 PM']How does it play/sound?[/quote] I sorted out the action on it, retuned it. Buggered around with the truss rod and attempted to play it. It sounds REALLY growly, lots of sound variation due having lots of knobs to play around with. The truss rods work really well. It plays pretty good at the moment, i reckon it would be even better if it had a low F# string. It doesant neckdive as much as i thought it would. In fact it rests perfectly horizontal. Cheers Rob.

Because of my hand weakness i have to use light gauge, low tension strings. Plus i love the sound i get out of them Lots of zing and high end growl. Though bugger all low end growl. (Then again alot of that has to do with the bass)

[quote name='Metalmoore' post='571616' date='Aug 17 2009, 01:49 PM']You could eat a steak dinner off tht fretboard! Looks great and i bet it plays great, should keep it for a while and see how it plays. Btw what tuning does a 7'er have?[/quote] This one came with a high F as apposed to a low F# I have received the bass and it's ready to be moved on I will now include free shipping!

[quote name='bubinga5' post='571142' date='Aug 16 2009, 10:30 PM']I see where your coming from..that Pedulla is lovely.[/quote] Apart from the Bartolinis, pedulla seem to really gel with me, I love my current pedulla alot. I had many tempting offers to sell it but i never took them up. I wanted to give another decent fretless a shot. I have and now decided on the pedulla. The necks just right for me Rob. -

[/quote] Give me the money for a better amp then Anyway, i'll be trying all your amps out at bassbash, by then i'll have the money to by a decent amp -
Up for sale is this HK fretless. It has a damn good spec. And brand new! Gorgeous topped body, 7 string fretless. Kent Armstrong pups and pre, wilkenson hardware, 18volt circuit. Anyway, i am asking what i paid for it which is £350 (Excluding shipping.) Now accepting trades/part ex's with money your way! Would like a Fender type bass with Maple fingerboard. Nice colour like Daphne blue, CAR, Lake Placid Blue, Shergold Green, Shell pink would be great. I prefer pickup from bristol as always. Prices are not firm, but i wont come down very much, as one is brand new and i havent even recieved it yet and the other is definitely worth the money considering the looks and uniqueness. More pics below.

Yeah so i just got the Musicman fretless because i thought i would get on with them better then my current fretless. Turns out i do not! This bass has very low action with plenty of travel on the truss rod either way. Heres the Blurb. [quote]Purchased in 1992 and owned by the original buyer since this is a great example of a fretless five string Musicman Stingray. The original Pau Ferro fingerboard was changed in 1993 by John Diggins of JD to the current beautiful piece of Ebony with maple stained fret markers and high polish polyester finish. The fingerboard has been re-polished since it was originally fitted and the whole bass is in very good condition with no missing paint finish and no rust on the fittings. The back of the highly figured bird's eye maple neck has been finished in a high polish finish to match the fingerboard. The unique bass has a wonderful feel and tone due to the Ebony fingerboard. This bass comes with the original fitted hard case.[/quote] Anyway, i am asking 900 quid which includes shipping, which is what i paid for it from bass direct on Wednesday, own something a bit different and special! I prefer pickup from bristol as always. Prices are not firm, but i wont come down very much, i have only just bought this and worth the money considering the looks and uniqueness. Rob.

£350, If i dont like it then you can take it for that price ;-) They have put their prices up recently to 460 and this was the last of the old stock. Just spent 60 quid on custom strings for both my new fretless's so hard to light gauge strings in a stock pack -

Been looking at this one fretless for the 2 months it has been listed, wondering why no one ever bought it! Gorgeous topped body, 7 string fretless. Kent Armstrong pups and pre, wilkenson hardware, 18volt circuit. having just bought a Musicman Stingray fretless, i thought i might as well go with this as i was on a roll! Now lets just hope this thing plays nice Look like i have gone full time fretless! Full review of this puppy when i get it, i am sure a number of you would be interested in getting one of these considering the price! Only problem for me is that is 35 inch scale Rob.
