Hi S'manth - see if you can find the contact details for this guy. As I recall, he spent most of his life searching for a new head. 🤭

I have two fretless basses. One has roundwounds for that 'electric' fretless sound you mention. The other has tape-wound Labella strings for a fatter, more DB sound. I'd suggest you try using a chorus if using roundwounds (chorus AND octaver can sound great.) your ebony board will show signs of wear, but find yourself a good local luthier -Martin at the Bass Gallery - and they'll be able to advise what needs done, and when. Good luck in your adventure(s).

Cheers

All of the above

Welcome, from a murderously bad bassist. 😎

I'm not feelin' too good myself.

Well, that's my next rehearsal sorted. 🤣

Evening Young Francis. I'm really on the beat here, answering your post almost three years late. Did you ever sort your dilemma out? If not, I can't recommend the Kala California basses enough: light, piezo and very short scale.

Tremendous story. Exactly the kind of thing I was hoping for when I started this thread. The stories from people are inspiring. Thanks for your contribution
