Cheers guy's most helpful, I'll tap a few of them up. Kind Regards, Steve.

Hi All, i am thinking of getting a an all black refinish on my sunburst Fender P, any good reccomendatiions for a top refinisher? Cheers, Steve.

Thanks guy's I'll try Terry.

I have some pending work that I would like a pro to work on, I have tried to contact a couple but no replies can anyone recommend a good luthier that could take some electrics and neck work that I need doing fairly soon? Thanks, Steve.

[quote name='HowieBass' timestamp='1393960307' post='2386341'] @bassatnight - I've just noticed the three fretless basses you already have and I can't imagine bettering them even with the Fender P bass - you must seriously be into the 'mwah'!!! [/quote] I am very happy with my fretlesses, but this is more of a personal project, always fancied a LPB Fender P with an Ebony neck and all black hardware when one came up that I could upgrade I thought why not

Cheers folks, I may just stick with the stock bridge. Onwards and upwards!

Hi, I have a wee project on the go with a Fender P Mexican I bought for a couple of hundred of the Bay in January. I am not a big fan of Fender 'stock' bridge's and want something with more mass for better sustain (I need to add I am turning this fretted into a fretless) I have owned Badass and Gotoh before and although the Badass was marginally better it wasn't three times the price better! So for fretless work any recommendations on a replacement bridge? I must get some before and after pics up, she is lovely in a Lake Placid blue with black guard, I may sell on the rosewood neck but just picked up a mighty mite fretless ebanol so trying to make her sound as good as she is going to look. Cheers, Steve.

Just taken possession of a lovely Mexican P, the pups are OK - but want something a bit growlier, any suggestions on a pup upgrade? Cheers, Steve.

Wal could do a Mick Karn Signature, although you would need a mortgage! Derek Forbes, Fender P Pino may have a Fender P signature but he will always be known as a Fretless Ray man ;o) Bedders from Madness another Fender P? Les Pattinson and a Lake placid Jazz with block inlays? Come on Fender!!

Guy Pratt, Horace Panter, Mick Karn are well worth a read with your bass head on. Midge Ure, Julian Cope and boy George (was quite a read) with your general music head on

Thanks guy's, I really fancy the Sea Foam Green finish. Will give a a go...

Hi Rob, That's pretty much what I was thinking, I am after a Jazz 'type' and a cheap fretless for noodling. Like you the colours are nice and they sound ok butI am guessing a lot of set-up work will have to be done.

Chaps and Chapesses, anyone know anything or own a J&D 1975 Vintage Bass? They retail at around £120, just seen a few played on You tube and they sound pretty good for the cash. I fancy buying a cheap instrument for perhaps an upgrade project. Views anyone? Steve.

Def Scam, I mentioned to him that he had posted x2 pictures of different Aria SB's, he then posted a third version into the bargain. Sales now pulled - can't think why!! ;o)

I remember contacting Wal back in the mid eighties when I had recently purchased a Mk1, in those day's E-mail was something off Star Trek so it was the old fashioned phone or letter. They were magnificent and I ended up visiting the small workshop, building them was a real labour of love and I like to think this is still the case. Would you prefer that a large guitar corporate took them over and we started seeing cheap production line models? Hand built loveyness and for me the best all rounders on the planet, if there is a better fretless than a Wal I have not seen it in my 35 years of playing! They can be slow in responding but they are not a big factory set-up, it's part of the charm!

First Batch..

Not sure when these new basses wil be released as I can't find any trace of a Squire fretless P anywhere on the web?

The fretless P looks awsome and judging by past models should sound awesome too! Not sure why fretless P's are so rare?

If they want to use the Ray I think Bernard left it to John Taylor of Duran duran in his will?

[b]My US P is a back up to my Wal..... [/b] Why? Because I am considerably richer than youse! (That's a joke by the way.....)
