philw Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 All, My lovely fretless Precision A/E, recently acquired from TheGreek, needs its fingerboard shooting (it's got a definite raised area on the treble side above the 12th fret). Can anybody recommend someone in or around Brighton that I should trust with the job? Phil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry if it is..[/quote] Mick, Don't worry, nothing to do with you, I'm very happy with the bass. I just like a bass with a low action and to get the A/E the way I want it I think the fingerboard needs attention. It's no more than I'd expect of a 20 year old Precision, although it may well be that the bass always had a slightly lumpy fingerboard - it is after all a mass produced item and not a custom, luthier built masterpiece. Remember too that I've been conditioned by my Wal and by Joe Veillette's extraordinary necks/fingerboards. Phil PS. I know it's a Custom you want but there's a lovely looking Wal Pro 1 Passive on Ebay. Item No. 320647403728 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGreek Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 Phew...I was worried that I'd sold you a duffer.. Thanks for the info on the Wal on eBay I had a look - pretty similar to the one I had - I'm happy to wait for the right one to come along at the right price though there are a few beautiful examples on BC which I'd love to own. As I said when I was down in Brighton, a friend of mine's brother has a fretless which he rarely plays and may be parted from - I'd need a fretted neck or to find somebody who would trade for a fretted... I'm not keeping it a secret that I'm looking for a good one - hopefully one will come up soon.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
