Looks damn fun though, 6 string fretless with the above options would confuse me but I love 4 string fretless

It's beautiful , love MR BIG

I sold my Sue Ryder & Bass Cube around last November - playing G&L guitars now but I shall return!! When I'm back in employment

[quote name='bartelby' timestamp='1350047953' post='1833999'] So when it suggested that Rob acquired the bass and returned it to the family, it should be: Rob acquired the bass and will happily sell it to the family for what he paid. [/quote] ^^^ This, how does that make Trujillo a good guy? I'd rather Jaco's bass was in a museum after being returned to his family and played in a clinic by whoever gets voted 'Best Bassist' each year (or by his son). I have the full collection of Metallica - it's awful through all eras IMO.

The radius doesn't really affect basses a lot, whereas a 7.5" radius on a guitar is a major ball ache!! That's because of picking out arpeggios on the different string heights as you go across the board and string bending up and over the curve. My personal preference is for a 12" radius or a compound radius - if it's too flat it will be slightly uncomfortable if the edges of the fretboard aren't rolled.

I'd pay up to £900 for this if I were still playing bass: [url="http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/G-L-ASAT-Bass-American-made-not-Tribute-series-/190738666454?pt=UK_Musical_Instruments_Guitars_CV&hash=item2c68e913d6"]http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/G-L-ASAT-Bass-American-made-not-Tribute-series-/190738666454?pt=UK_Musical_Instruments_Guitars_CV&hash=item2c68e913d6[/url]

Bitta Sharpe's Rifles going on in the background

I find Wooten's double thump technique massively boring on its own but in Sinister Minister it's great. Someone like Billy Sheehan on his own is pretty pants though with Mr Big, fantastic. There's very few bass players that can hold a crowd solo IMO despite skill and technical ability (not even Jack Bruce I hate to say ) - However!! I'll happily listen to Jeff Schmidt all day long, very musical indeed!

[quote name='alstocko' timestamp='1349570028' post='1827919'] What was good in '92? Not much. [/quote] '88 Seems like a terrible year too

What about this: [attachment=120235:83941705.jpg] (sorry it's only a blackberry photo) It's sonic blue, b/w/b 3 play pickguard, white pickup cover, natural headstock, rosewood board.

[quote name='Les' timestamp='1349483068' post='1827060'] wot he said. I've never understood the appeal. [/quote] Gotta agree, those roadworns may sound good but the fretwork and finish on the one's i've seen is abysmal lol. I tried a 50's tele and it grated my hand to shreds - jumbo frets on a vintage radius what the...?

I learnt on one of these ^^^ & a Shergold - wouldn't mind one for myself!

Fiesta Red & Tortoise Shell with Rosewood (white/creme pickup covers & natural headstock). I really want something in that colour scheme, miss my Tokai Jazz Sound.

Hmm...meh, does nothing for me and i'm a P bass guy - I'd just keep saving.

You've got a really nice setup with the two thumbs. I've managed to do the same thing with guitars but I still constantly worry if I can afford it or not (being unemployed and all). When I had basses I wasn't completely happy, closest I've been is a Marleaux Consat 5 String Fretless which could do anything...although I wished it was a 4 string.

I now feel better about my playing, thanks for posting this! I used to be a confused bass player like that - inbetween wanting to play guitar and bass, I resorted to a fretless rather than an ERB.
