[quote name='majorlabelartist' post='558215' date='Aug 2 2009, 01:25 AM']You're totally right... i like your point a lot. i'm not being agist at all... if you have a 21 y/o singer songwriter with a main audience of 16-20 y/o females... it really only makes sense to have a band that fits with that performance image-wise. It's purely a business thing, no one should take it personally.[/quote] wasn't taken personally - couldn't find a tongue-in-cheek emoticon

Well I have a bass - think I fail on just about every thing else!

[quote name='RussFM' post='556057' date='Jul 30 2009, 12:13 PM']Either way, I'm happy with it![/quote] glad I put the link up now!

[quote name='EBS_freak' post='556105' date='Jul 30 2009, 01:01 PM']Isnt the cable just a small jack to large jack socket convertor? Or am I missing something..?[/quote] That might work, though as the iPhone socket is stereo out and mic in the correct connections would need to be made I guess.

Don't know of a luthier who would build that unfortunately (or maybe fortunately!) I'm sure that someone knows one though. Look forward to seeing the photos

[quote name='RhysP' post='555544' date='Jul 29 2009, 08:30 PM']If for some reason you haven't heard Jaco's playing on Joni Mitchells "Hejira" & "Mingus" albums make sure you do. Absolutely wonderful. Personally I think this was Jaco at his very best.[/quote] I was going to mention Hejira and thought Jaco must have already been mentioned so didn't bother! That was what first opened my eyes to fretless

This is what I was seeing from your GAS post - anything like? [attachment=29916:TbirdWhite.jpg] I can see your wallet getting thinner from here

+1 for Manring and Karn

Have a look at [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=49569"]this[/url] thread. In between the sales info there is a reasonable amount of other info about them. They seem to be considered good quality for the price (if the price is right!)

- don't try looking that up on Spotify!

[quote name='silddx' post='555242' date='Jul 29 2009, 03:52 PM']Tell me about it! Ridiculous. The cash i've gone through buying FLs I couldn't try first, then having to sell them.[/quote] Just as well this question wasn't asked a couple of weeks ago though. Fretless bass, wonderful tone. between 600 and 800. Hmmm

Depends how far "under a grand" you mean. Have a look in the for sale section here - several nice ones up recently, but there's an Overwater 5 fretless (natural, no scratchplate) up for one grand. There is also a very nice Marleaux, though that's a bit over what you want, and I see that Jan has put up his Rick Turner Electroline today ( I was considering that when it was up before). It isn't a natural finish but it is under a grand. And that's apart from all the ones I can't remember off the top of my head

[quote name='chris_b' post='554210' date='Jul 28 2009, 05:37 PM']Pete Stevens built a 3 octave fretless bass for Steve Chesney, but I don't know of any 36 fret Wal basses. Also, I haven't seen any through neck Wal basses.[/quote] That's the one I meant - 36 lined fretless Picture [url="http://www.trevorandthea.eclipse.co.uk/specs3.html"]here[/url]
