rockman Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 Very tidy Vintage (the brand, not the age!) V940f bubinga fretless. These are a budget brand, but are widely known as a quality make for the price, and a great way to get a start on an unlined fretless. There is a slight mark on the back, and a little wear on the neck where I have recently used rounds (I prefer the growl!), neither of which will effect the sound or playability... It has P/J Wilkinson Pickups, with an active EQ, that I have always found versatile and powerful. The controls are Volume / Blend / Bass (Boost / Cut) / Treble (Boost / Cut). I'm selling because it really doesn't get much use, and I'm trying to focus the collection a little more about quality not quantity, and fretless just doesn't come up very often! I'm open to offers, but would like [b]£140[/b], or would consider a swap for a East J-Retro preamp... I've not looked into courier prices (maybe £25?!), but will be willing for anyone to pick-up or meet somewhere in the Bristol area. I've attached some pics, so please have a look and get back to me with any questions! Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spent two weeks on it already and it's not finished yet. See, I should be more patient. However, for any interested parties, great, playable bass for hardly any money. Best of luck with the sale type bump. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
