Thanks - yes it is a 'proper' fretless - not de-fretted. I had a fretted one too a year or so ago and that was also a fantastic bass!

For sale - possible trade, my Washburn Status 1000 Headless, Fretless Bass in really good condition for it's age, with just a few small dings / marks and not too much of the obligatory buckle rash. This is an original fretless and not a de-fretted model It's a cracking Fretless and only for sale due to an impending £1000+ car repair bill...... Oh and a lack of Fretless playing talent of course!! Here are the specs:- Status Hyperactive Jazz Style Pickups Status Brass Hardware Through neck design Stepped Volume Control Variable Pan Pickup Selector Status Active Preamp with Pan Bass / Treble Control Strap Locks Original Status Branded Hiscox Lifeflite Case Currently sporting flat wound double ball ended strings Just had it set up and had the Luthier add temporary fret lines to the side of the neck - which alas didn't help my lack of talent - to aid intonation, but can easily be removed if preferred. Would ideally prefer cash - as my car managed to wait until the second week of the year before it died again!! But may be interested in a small class D amp in some sort of trade / px etc?? Markbass would be good as I am missing their VLE & VPF filters. I believe these are quite rare as a factory Fretless and having owned a Status headless Fretless in the past and I actually prefer the 'woody' sound of this to the graphite bodied Status for a Fretless sound, even though the Status was a superb instrument.

Great Bass - great price!!

PM'd !!

Think my head just exploded !! it's not a Precision is it ??- great bass, just wish I was young and clever enough to understand it - good luck with the trade !! ps - I've owned a few Status basses over the years - currently have an S1 fretless - they were all fab and I still yearn for a bog standard Kingbass - just love the body shape - type bump !!

The 'Hob - Nob' of Basses .......... 'again' !! Love my passive Jack, the post says it all - headless / thru neck for not much dosh + fits into a guitar case and therefore out of sight in most car boots / stays in tune for ever / lightweight / can't recommend these fat wires strongly enough type bump!!

Hi Kev, welcome to the forum - I'm guessing this is your 4HS with a swampash body, tortie plate & lined fretless rosewood board - drool !! - get some pics up & share the love !! I'd have this in a heartbeat if I wasn't so in love with my Status S1 fretless & couldn't let her go to conform to the 'one in - one out' policy - so kindly instigated by the current kitchen viper post my descendancy into fossildom !!! Good luck with the sale, but I don't think you'll need it!!

Buggeration! too far away & I'm not going to the Bash !!

Just my luck - been waiting for two years for one with this spec & it's a lefty !! Great bass - good luck with the sale

tee hee !! - but seriously folks - ask a good quality luthier to build you a fretless of this standard & spec - then make sure you are sitting down before they give you the price - unbelievable value all the live long day - someone will be a very happy boy or girl !! Dip yer bread as we say up north !!
