I suspect an unlined neck is able to be lined? I guess it's just the same as fretting a neck, tell me if I'm wrong! If you can find someone to do ti, you could pick the colour of the infills, which is cool, as i would go for something a bit less bright than most fretless' have. I once had a status with brown lines and it looked great!
Status is another option, about £350, that would be my neck of choice!

End of an era for that that particular part of town, apart from JR, I used to spend saturday afternoons in the late 70's mooching round the likes of A1, as I'm sure many of Manchesters musicians have done!
Napper has been a good mate for a long time, always called in for a chat, but I know he's gonna be doing other stuff now :-)

I know many poeple don't hold Music Ground and the associated business' in high regard, but I thought I would pass on some info regarding the Manchester shop
...it's closed!
Yesterday, they were clearing the stock out!
For those who didn't know the shop, it was run by Napper, a little ginger haired geezer, well known round these parts, having been involved in music retail in manchester for many years!

[quote name='kets' post='759615' date='Feb 28 2010, 10:14 AM']I have the Wild wood song book, which has the music and chords, all notation. Not sure how accurate the bass notation is on it though, with it being arranged for piano. PM if this is of any use to you.

That would be great, can easily work it out from that!
Can you scan?

Missed out on a brand new samson bassline today (ggrrrr) liked the idea of this for swapping basses!
So what else is there that is easy to change over basses without swapping straps during a set!
and sounds good and is reliable!
Searched through several threads, but ain't too familiar with a lot of the wireless gear that is available!
Cheers

Nice set up, I played the 5 string GB at Bass Day, real nice, nearly went for it, but ££, or lack of it put a stop to it!
I always look twice at this thread, being a "Shep" also lol
If you want a fretless, I know where there is a G&L

Breaking into Heaven off the SR's Sec0nd Coming album, great track IMHO (but then I am a Manc')
Nice bass line too, anyone got a TAB or notation for this? Notation is king for me

Will consider trade for US Jazz as well as lined fretless 4 string.
In the off chance someone has a 2005 bttercream ray with a rosewood board, I could also be swung by that :-)
I can trade up, but not by a lot
Cheers

I was in NY about 3 years ago, walked past BB kings club on 42nd and saw they were playing that night, got me a ticket for the 10 o'clock show
Cool as f***, seeing TOP at BB Kings in NY City

It went to me, then off to a guy in London via this forum, Damon42 or somthing like that, a MK fan with a few GB's if I remember rightly.
I played this for a while, gigged it a few times, but was moving more toward an extra strings at the time
Not many neck thru spitfires around?
Wouldn't mind another GB spitfire, but would prefer something more solid colour than the exquisite stained wood finishes Bernie produces! Someone was selling a white bass for a while (Ian I think?) should have had that when it was available (kicks self hard) anyone know where that is now?
