I am honestly considering having that logo sanded off and adding a Sadowsky decal. The story of why the Sadowsky name isn't on the headstock as such (but as part of the RSD brand) is clear and easy, but still, yes, that logo is awful.
Did you ever change the decal? I have picked one up and hate the look of the headstock... wondered if there were decals out there yet?
I see the new versions have a metro express decal...

Me too!! Been looking for one for a while… glad I waited at £299!

I had a factory lined fretless Deluxe in the same see thru red. Only sold it as part of a cull when I relocated 250 miles south. Fantastic basses these Deluxes (and the Elites)
and this fretless conversion of yours looks very clean. Excellent job!
GLWTS!
thanks for the positive comments - it was a labour of love for someone who has a tendency to cut corners!
I was well chuffed with the end result - I just am hankering after an unlined board… -
I should add that this has a set of the Ernie Ball flatwounds on it which haven't been used much... great strings and they really sing on here...
-
definitely 35" scale - although a quick measurement tells me it's between and 34 and 35 - it's 44cm from the nut to the 12th fret which is 17.3228 inches giving 34.6 roughly...
saying that, the typical overwater design is 35" scale i think... which is what this based on.
Someone may want to chirp in on this?

I am moving on my Overwater Aspiration Deluxe (the Tanglewood manufactured ones) 5 string fretless in Trans red.
It's in lovely condition, no marks or dings and comes with a soft gig bag. Postage available to be paid by buyer.
I got this bass as I wanted a 5 string fretless with an aim to convert it to fretless - I was aiming for an unlined look but it didn't quite end up that way. You can see the defret process here:
Anyway... the defret process was done very carefully and slots were filled with rosewood veneer, sanded and oiled - it plays really nicely. The only reason I am looking to sell is because an unlined 5 string fretless has come up for sale near me and GAS has taken over!
These are great basses and look the part - build quality is excellent. There are loads of posts about these and many people comment about how great these are - I just want an unlined fretless.
If the one I am after sells I will likely withdraw it from sale.
Pop me any questions.
Carl.

Hi everyone…
im in the market for a multi effects unit.
i want something as a front end for my QSC 12.2 FRFR. I’m not big into effects - I basically want a good DI, some good amp sims, chorus, octaver - I’m not a ‘dirt’ man… but what I’m really after is a good synth modeller. I have a boss SYB-5 which is ok (I do a lot of function 80s stuff) so a good synth engine is quite important to me.
i do like the boss, but one unit rather that separate pedals suits me more. I did have a line 6 pod go which was ok… not great for synths but ok… same engine as the helix so I don’t think a stomp is the way I should go.
i did watch a video of someone blistering their way through ‘Like a Prayer’ using a zoom B3 and it sounded great. Exactly the kind of thing I am after…
will the b6 do this? Can anyone share some sound samples at all? I can’t find much online - it’s mainly standard demos…
I would be happy with the chorus octaver stuff I reckon… I’m just after a good synth bass!

As new Tech 21 Bass Flyrig V1. Great little box of tricks with the classic Sansamp built in alongside a tuner, compressor, chorus and octofilter.
Excellent condition - I have bought myself a synth bass pedal and need something with an FX loop so I can balance out wet and dry signals. Any trades would be looked at if you have something...
£170 posted to your door!

I have a Bass FlyRig which I could be tempted to trade if you feel that is for you.
This has the sansamp plus a few other bonus items... as new in a box with PSU...

It’s gone already? I went yesterday to play it. Wow.
I’ll message you directly when I see some so you are aware. I am always looking for pb70’s.
Top man - let me know if you see anything good.
I may stick it in the wanted section...

I was going to plump for the one in the Gallery today but someone beat me to it!
shows that they are desirable if anything!

The tuners are the key. Large plate = US parts. Small plate = Japanese. I believe the US pickup is made in Japan but to the US spec.
Get a PB70US and you'll have everything you want, from what you've said.
Get a picture of the back of the headstock.
will do… thanks for all the advice! I may come back hopefully with some pics from a NBD!-

So is it a case that the earlier MIJ models came from the Fujigen factory, and the CIJ models came from the Tokai factory??
is that a rough guide date wise??

So that top image is a spiral saddle tuner? Is that correct? Meaning that one was a 57 or a 62??

They have a good stock but they do seem be quite pricey.
I believe (and I said it elsewhere and can't remember if I was corrected), but the US ones have large back plate tuners, whereas the non-US ones have the smaller back plate version. The one shown here has the large plate tuners. They're what I use as a gauge.
Can you elaborate?? A comparison?
I did see Fender Fever on ebay… I might give them a call and see if there is wiggle room on the price as they do seem quite pricey…

I actually pulled the trigger on an unlined fretless so this needs to go to pay for it!
