I’ve only got one of these left now (Stingray) but it dawned on me, of all the fretless basses I’ve owned, they’ve all been unlined.
Something very ‘proper musician’ about an unllined fretless. Until I play it on a dark stage 😁
Oooh, that’s the 3rd one I know if in the U.K. yours, My fretless and a piezo 4 string reviewed in Bass Guitar Magazine.
Very rare colour bass at a ridiculously cheap price.
I’ve just bought back my June 1976 4001.
I bought it in 1989 for £325 from DGC in Durham. I stupidly sold it in the summer of 2017 and regretted it ever since. Thankfully the guy I sold it to offered me first refusal when he was considering shifting it again. Needless to say I didn’t think twice. It’s now back where it belongs with my 1985 4003s
The 1140 and 1144 are actually slightly different. The 1140 is the studio version and the 1144 is the instrument version and having owned both ya the same time and A/B them, they do sound surprisingly different. I sold the 1144 and just kept the 1140
Me too, I had a bit of a sickness for a while but I’ve finally calmed down and have 2 370s and 2 408s. Ali McMordie was a hero when I first started playing. Hence the Guid too.
I’ve spent the last few years ridding myself of a large collection and distilling my basses down to basses I will gig and not be precious about and the best version of the instrument I can find. If there’s anything that niggles me about a bass it’s now gone.
With that said here’s the 2 best Fenders I’ve personally played. 1978 Walnut and Rosewood and a 1973 Black and Maple.
Boss 1/2 rack compressor limiter in very good condition and full working order. It doesn’t have a power supply as I power it off my other Boss 1/2 rack but you can pick up a generic non boss brand one for around £5 on eBay.

its a fantastic sounding compressor with very quiet operation and low thd. I’m only selling as I’ve got another spare 1/2 rack compressor so don’t need this. M
Trades I wouldn’t mind a Boss 1/2 rack chorus but otherwise I’m pretty geared up.
Thanks
Having had this a week now I have to admit it genuinely is one of the best jazz sounds I’ve had. Still don’t like the string spacing and the nut width. I would really love a 2 tone 57/58 RI or an Oly White 62 P
Thanks
