Cheers Andy. I am smitten with it. Jon has done a fantastic job with the pickup, I am loathed to put it through any effects.

I'm really looking forward to getting hold of my fretless 6'er from him!

maybe just a little reverb? :blush:

Here's my fretless Fender P Bass. Best fretless I've played

I can attest to that, fantastic bass.
Hopefully my Bass Doc fretless P/J will be just as great when it arrives :)

More pics Nick!! :)

Woo, here's my baby! Fender Standard Jazz Bass fretless from 2001. I modded it quite a bit. The pickups were replaced by Fender Custom Shop 60's pickups (which sound fantastic by the way), I switched the pickguard with a black one, put a Gotoh 201 bridge on it and, last but not least, had the fingerboard epoxied. That last thing was the best thing I ever did to a bass :) Whát a sound.

ok I finally had the time to take pictures... First is a custom 6-string neck-through. Ebony fingerboard. Sugar maple body and neck, seasoned for 20 years before used. Barto quad coils passives. Made by Pierre Laporte, a fantastic luthier based in Montréal.







And this second one is also from Pierre Laporte. A custom 6-string acoustic. Based around the Thomastik-Infeld nylon strings, it has a cedar top, mostly a classical guitar, but lower ;-) Ebony fingerboard. RMC piezo.











I could have show more pictures of each, but it takes ages to do and I've got to play them now ;-) Let's finish with a quick picture of the master luthier in his show, checking on my tuning (I am in the UK now so I adjust the basses myself for many years... his scrutiny was a little intimidating ;-)
