I've recently taken this in part exchange for my Marleaux and stored it while i'm at University. As close as you going to get to the Pino model for under £1500ish...or whatever the price of one of them is, but yeah one for the Paul Young fans!! :)

Lightweight 2008 Musicman Stingray
4 String
Translucent Honey Burst Finish
Black Pickguard
Unlined Fretless Pau Ferro Fingerboard (But with sidemarkers where the frets should be, rather than in the middle)
Old Skool Focused 2eq Preamp
Excellent condition with musicman hardshell case

This has been kept within the basschat community so its fantastically well looked after. I'm not bothered about keeping this one as my achilles heel is a fretless - I am trying to switch to guitar though!
I've played an unlined fretless before and you only look at the side of the neck anyway, a weeks practice and a lot of its down to muscle memory too so fear not! The change is minimal and less hassle than changing from a 34" to 35" scale or 4 to 6 strings in my experience and honest opinion.

As Schnozzer's link shows I'm a previous owner of this. I really regret selling it, if I didn't have my 'fretless' cash tied up in a SR5 fretless - currently with Mr Shuker having a full service and set up, I might be turning it into cash to buy this back.

Good luck with the sale.

Thanks Mart, I'm sure the SR5 will play as smooth as butter after Jon's given it a going over! Would be a pleasure to return the 4 to a previous owner though :). Looks like postage is needed to get this one moving PMs replied!

Would look even better with a white one.

I would probably have this off you if I could sell a couple of my basses and get some money. However, nothing is selling at the moment so I'm a bit stuck I'm afraid.

No worries, everythings stuck in limbo at the moment. Don't suppose you've tried flats on your 2eq? I was thinking of getting some TI's for it and wearing them into a warm dub tone :)

No, not a fan of flats I'm afraid. They sound too dead to my ears. I like a bit of punch.

Ahh I think thats where I go sissy, I would love it if there was such a thing as a Fretless EB3...but that would be dreaming. Tony Franklin Fretless would be the next best thing for me I reckon.
