When i started fretless (i mainly play FL) i bought a second hand Fender Japan. (In the shop i loved the look of this one precisely...) Almost 20 years later, i think it was a good choice : you play on a good Bass for half price, and only a litte more than a brand new cheap one. You loose much less reselling it. I hope it will help. Good groove

I know that in 66, the new owner CBS ordered a large stock of CTS pots (example 13766xx). All these pots lasted till 1969-70, CBS used them on 67-68-69 basses. So if you only check the pots, it is easy to say this bass is a 66 whereas it's a 67.

Hi, Considering the fact that you already have your woods, I agree withbigsmokebass. But there is always a but... A question : what wood will you use for the body ? A total "gold" (natural if you prefer) bass would be cool : ash body and maple fretless neck and fingerboard. A splendid bassplayer Jean-Marc JAFET played a long time with this kind of set. One day he decided to change for a ebony fingerboard. Hard wood in the 2 cases. I also own a maple fingerboard fretless with active electronic. I boost a little bit the bass knob and i am at home. I like the maple reactivity. I think you have to find your own balance between look and sound.

Hi Laurence, Thanks. I love my JB that's why "she" sounds. I see that you're a Wal and Mike Karn fan. I am looking for a Mk I fretless for a long time. I wish i could find someday...

My babies... i play mainly fretless Taka King (Takamine B10) from The Avengers...and my two Godin-ess (one rounwound and one flatwound) I pray often And my holy...Jazz Gral. Why ? A divine neck, so thin

Hi 2wheele, Merci Thanks for your welcome. I don't know if i create a post to introduce my "woodmen" or if i show them here. I think i will create a post... Here i am

You and me will be the founders, won't we ? I think i will laugh on this site.

Hi Bigjohn, Thanks for answering. You're right, i changed my sentence.

Hello, I am a new bassplayer in town so i wanted to say hello. I am a french bassplayer and i emit low frequencies from Marseille (south of France). I do my best for english language. With a english friend of mine we talked about Basschat so i came here and discovered wonderful chats, instruments, topics... I play bass for 20 years. I plan to show my babies on Basschat, to share our passion. See you soon.
