[quote name='Deep Thought' post='718554' date='Jan 20 2010, 12:20 AM']The only bass-related item I still have a hankering for is a fretless-purely out of curiousity, I may well find, much as I did with 5-string, that I don't get on with it, and immediately flog it on again. I therefore don't want to blow big money on it. Our local shop has an unlined fretless, bit knocked about but OK, by Ventura. I'm not familiar with the brand, anyone have any experience with them? They only want £85, I'm tempted just for an experiment.[/quote]
i had one. it was a Gibson EB-3 copy. very, very well made. excellent player & good looking. i would buy another Ventura again, definately.
