Tremendous work, Vin. Hope you are still enjoying the bass!

Ladislav bought my Fullerton 62RI P. He paid promptly, arranged the shipping to Czech Republic and was friendly and courteous throughout in his communications. Highly recommended!

Might be worth adding pic of side of fretboard because I believe some fretless 4003s have side dots "on the fret", while in some years the dots were in the between-fret position

Given bassbros are selling a fretless passive pro1 reissue for £5500; sure they could sell this one for a decent price. Not that their description really says what it is...
What's their commission tho?
From their website: "we also offer a commissioned sale alternative, we charge 20% on the final sale price"

Thats lovely Nick. Dan aka @Dood did a fabulous video review of this model and I was sorely tempted
Ps, sure you know this, but the original US version of the bass (NS Shorty) was made for Gary Tallent of the E Street Band.

Update: Well the doctors say it will be up to a year before my left hand forefinger works properly, even with physiotherapy due to fractures and severe ligament damage. Life is too short to wait that long before I can play a P bass dimension neck so I am open to selling this lovely bass.
Incidentally I swapped the strings this week to a brand new set of Fender 9050L flats as the Dunlop flats were old and had a few kinks in them. See attached pics taken just now.
Cheers Clarky

Lovely bass. Might be worth adding the weight, especially if its a light one. Either way, quite the looker and GLWYT!

@FinnDave this might fit the bill for your shortie tryout and three is a tremendous BCer to deal with?

I think Steve Severin of Siouxsie & The Banshees used to (maybe still does) use up strokes all the time.
Spot on Lozz. See here (some cracking music, with the late great John McGeoch on guitar)

I know you had so much hassle with the Kolstein but I still think its cool AF and is the cherry on top of your modest collection!!!

Thats a lovely rig, all set up and ready to go for someone. GLWYS

Having had a helpful message about hand injuries from another BCer and also being told by my wife not to be rash, I am withdrawing this bass for now. Let's see how my hand progresses

Just thinking laterally, maybe get a small pedal board, velcro on the Sansamp and an Ashdown Ant (or some type of small power amp eg mini Sumo). You can just bring the pedal board and bypass the power amp if no rig is required, or plug the lot into your BF cab if you need a backline?

made me think about getting an Epiphone and modding it.
Apols to OP for thread derail. Bring on the bass faces!

This incidentally is what I am struggling with (2 fractures and damaged ligament, which stubbornly resist to heal):

A recent horse riding accident has left me with significant discomfort playing anything other than skinny necked and/or short scale basses. Hence this hard-to-find Fullerton 62P RI is up for sale. Lightweight (8lb 7oz) and plays nicely (well it would if my bust-up hand didn't hurt) with Dunlop 45-105 flats (my pics show it with TI flats which I can swap to if required).
Best description and specs (plus loads of photos) are on the link to the FS ad from Andy Baxter, from whom I bought it (and for rather more than my asking price here ....) As I bought it only weeks befire my accident in March, it hasn't left the house. https://www.andybaxterbass.com/products/1983-fender-precision-bass-fullerton-vintage-58
£2,500 ovno collected (SW13 London area) or will add courier delivery at cost.

Clarky, what bass is this, if I may ask? Body shape reminds me of a Newport, but Split coil (?) and the headstock seems to be different as well.
Its a Serek Midwestern (hand made by Jake Serek and his team in Chicago, as played by Tim Lefebvre, Brandon Boone of Tedeschi Trucks etc). Serek designs are based on retro basses like yhe Newport and Gibson Ripper. These are mine:

For me, it's a mix of equal parts concentration (aka, WTF am I doing?) and unintended Jimmy Page pouting

Spotted this on Instagram. Step aside, MDP, I think we have a new master

For your amusement, 17 years ago. My death/thrash band Nyx at H&A. While its a pub like many in Camden, I do like the ghosts of the punk past there. Hope Sunday's gig is a blast @NancyJohnson
