    Good luck finding one (or even it) 👍
  2. Beedster
    I had an FL Thinline, it was a lovely thing 👍

    Use of such language might have scared potential buyers perhaps…. 😂

    Precision: check 62RI: check Fender: check MIJ: check Lightweight: check Dimarzios: check CREME Dimarzios: check Iconic looks: check Under £800: check Ultra-reliable seller: check I have no idea what has happened to Basschat 🤔

    Beautiful 👍

    Thanks Steve, could you offer it as an option as do Warmoth with their 'standard 4-bolt' screwholes on Precision necks?
  7. Beedster
    I'd be interested in an unlined fretless Precision neck also. What's the likely timescale and, minor as it sounds, will the heel be pre-drilled to accept neck screws (if not it would mean sending to a luthier to do which is something I'd need to factor in).

    VERY nice neck at a very nice price 👍

    I do my best mate 👍

    Saw this and thought of you Dan 🙂 https://ebay.us/m/udAHJX Not original, might not be kosher, but looks nice 👌

    Graceland is on my album gig list, the problem at present is that our singer/guitarist isn't a fan. I'm working on it 👍
  12. Beedster
    I was making the point that you most certainly can slap flats 👍

    ....or Bakithi Kumalo 👍

    If it were 6-months back I'd have been the owner of three fretless basses and no fretted, but the band I'm in now requires a certain amount of the latter, while I tend to think that if you can play it on fretted you can probably play it on a fretless, there are certain bass tones that you'll only get with frets in the mix. I much prefer to play fretless though 👍
  15. Beedster
    Well so far, of 100 respondents, 74% own fretless basses, which allowing for bias (I'd guess you're more likely to be drawn to the thread if you play fretless) surprises me 👍

    👍
  17. Beedster
    Yep I get where you're coming from 👍

    You can’t slap flats 🤔

    Sound On Sound review, which was why I chose this unit among all those I could have chosen, here https://www.soundonsound.com/reviews/soundcraft-ui24r

    That's exactly what I was thinking, albeit I hadn't quite got to the point at which the attachment and truss rod were essentially one and the same. Headless graphite necks could be bought in a limited number of sizes - specifically heel dimensions and nut width - with the headstock shape being an option at point of sale?
  21. Beedster
    Could go down in history as one of the great insults 🤣
  22. Beedster
    That's good to hear, I understood that supply of the rechargeable battery was the core of the problem, glad John's found a solution. A very elegant piece of design and engineering 👍

    Thanks guys, I agree re both. I bought this when I was playing upright in a 3-piece band which had a very specific challenge with live sound and especially vocal monitoring (some songs required 3-part harmonies supported by upright bass, slide guitar, and banjo. I'll give you a few minutes to calculate the chances of the whole thing being in tune with anything but 100% monitoring fidelity......) Anyway, I loved the guys and and the music, but ultimately it was a real niche band (think Wood Brothers gigging the pubs of Kent), and we sacked it shortly after I bought this unit. My current band is one of these rare beasts that plugs into a mixer, plays, and barring a few tweaks, sounds good, so replacing the simplicity of the current Peavey desk that works really with the (relative) complexity of this unit seems unnecessary. A sound guy who I was talking to at our last gig however said he'd love to get his hands on one of these because it makes his job infinitely easier. Guess it's horses for courses 👍
  24. Beedster
    Good thinking, I'll edit accordingly 👍

    Just interested really, there always appears to be a lot of interest when a fretless is up for sale here, but having looked around there are probably far fewer being manufactured that I'd assumed? PLEASE RESPOND TO THE SURVEY EVEN IF YOU HAVE ABSOLUTELY NO INTEREST IN FRETLESS BASS, IT'LL TAKE YOU LESS THAN 5-SECONDS 👍
