This is a niche market, for sure. Being myself a fretless player, I've always struggled to be able to try some in music shops as they sometimes have one, but it's always a deep sh*t... That said I had the opportunity to try a brand new Zon Hyperbass in a shop in the 90's, but they were selling high end basses. My advice would be to buy a second hand one, as for £400 to £500, you can get some really terrific basses. And there are some very fine ones here on BassChat... Just check the Marketplace. And I don't know if there are top 20 tunes with fretless bass nowadays as I really don't give a damn sh*t about these radio horrors pretending to be music.

Still very synthetic sounding to my ears... And I guess it can't play fretless out of tune : useless !

Sold a Glockenklang Bass Art first generation preamp to Ryan. A really smooth, fast and easy transaction. A true credit to BassChat. Highly recommended. Will deal again with him. A+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

All original ALEMBIC Spoiler Flame Koa Top, 32 inches, from 1990, with original hard case. For sale only as I'm thinning down the herd (again). Asking price including shipping fully insured with tracking number to your place in these European countries (ask for other countries) : Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France (excluding French overseas departments and territories), Germany, Hungary, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxemburg, Monaco, Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden and United Kingdom : £2299 GBP !!! In fully working condition and in excellent overall condition. Here are the specifications : Body : full size (S in the serial) Spoiler shape, two wings of mahogany with thick beautiful hypnotic flame koa top wings Thru body neck : 3 pieces of maple Fingerboard : ebony with pearloid oval inlays and walnut under veneer Frets : 24 (very very slight wear) Headstock : typical Alembic Cone 2 + 2 shape with flame koa top and back and 2 walnut veneers on each side Pickup : Alembic AXY4 (like on the Stanley Clarke model) Preamp : Alembic low-pass filter with Q switch Controls : volume, 4 position pickup selector (with the typical Alembic standby position), low-pass filter, Q switch Tuners : original Schaller chrome (perfectly aligned at the back, look at the photos) Bridge : original solid brass Alembic two parts, bird type Strings spacing at bridge : 17 mm Nut : original adjustable Alembic solid brass Strings spacing at nut : 12 mm Knobs : original Alembic used bakelite Scale : 32 inches Hardware colour : chrome Truss rods : 2 (fully working) adjustable at the body end with a 1/4 wrench (delivered with the bass) Finish : polyester clear gloss Land of craftsmanship : 100% Made in Santa Rosa, CA USA, originally made for Wils Musik Serial number : 90 S 6101 USA Year : 31st August 1990 Weight : 4.1 kilos Action : from 1 mm under the G string to 1.5 mm under the E string at 12th fret (can even go lower, but was perfect for me) Will come with the lightly used (one spring latch is broken, but the latch is working) original Alembic hard case (which is still a paid mandatory option today). Non-smoking environment as usual. I'm only selling this bass because I'm thinning down the herd and even if it's a terrific bass (that neck pickup is just bloody awesome), the 32 inches scale and narrow string spacing at the bridge is always bothering me a bit. Here is the link to this very Alembic Spoiler specs : http://alembic.com/club/messages/394/67053.html?1282867280 And here, a link to a video demo make by the crazy adorable Johnny LONG : The bass has been fully set up professionally by Christophe LEDUC. It has a new battery and is fitted with a brand new set of Alembic CX-3/45L compression wound nickel steel alloy strings (45 - 65 - 80 - 105), which really fit the bass to perfection. What you see is what you get ! Look at the pictures taken under different angles to see the real condition : almost in new condition with some very few scratches, the most "important" ones being on the lower side on the edge near the electronics. Don't hesitate to ask for more.

GLOCKENKLANG Bass Art preamp first generation, not the Classic version. For sale only as I'm thinning down the herd (again). Asking price including shipping fully insured with tracking number to your place in these European countries (ask for other countries) : Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France (excluding French overseas departments and territories), Germany, Hungary, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxemburg, Monaco, Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden and United Kingdom : £375 GBP !!! In fully working condition and in good overall condition. It has been fully revised by Glockenklang in 2018. No need to put the specifications as it's a well known preamp and a reference, but you can check the manual below (in German). Non-smoking environment as usual. I'm only selling it as I don't use it anymore and don't want to start a collection... What you see is what you get ! Look at the pictures taken under different angles to see the real condition : some marks and dings, the most noticeable being on the upper right rack ear (see photo number 8), hence the low price, but it's fully working. I have tested each and every function.. Don't hesitate to ask for more.

Its other name is Schaller 3D-8. I had this on my Rybski 8 and you can adjust the intonation for each string separately. You can find a new one for the price of this second hand (as you'll have to add the customs fee).
