[/quote] I had one which I sold to Philw - fretless - I wasn't overly impressed TBH - lacked something...This one is a bit overpriced in my opinion - I've had a quick hunt through my ebay account - I paid £557+P&P for mine..it came with a broken nut which the eBay seller failed to mention..had to have a new one fitted and the bass set up...if you have a hunt on the "For sale" thread you might find details of mine/philw's... Would I buy one again?? definitely not.. Edited December 1, 2011 by TheGreek Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karlfer Posted December 1, 2011 Share Posted December 1, 2011 I had one with a pointy kinda head stock,Japanese made, HMT I think, so either earlier or later version. I found it powerful, versatile and very light. If I could find the model I had at a sensible price (last one I saw was a while back at around £800) I would sell the Mrs to get it.

the boy Posted December 1, 2011 Share Posted December 1, 2011 A mate of mine had one very similar to this and it was beautiful to hold and play, it even smelt nice, real woody(not man wood that wood smell awful). I would love one but they aren't very practical, tonally it was limited. The sound it made was real nice but there was no range. Am I making sense.

Actually, had one of these in the early 90s. Played unplugged it had enough character that it made a nice instrument to fiddle with at home, particularly at night. Always wondered if the fretless version would have been more fun. Think the main problem was the character of the Lace pickup - a bit synthetic. Thought it was the USA made version that was uncommon, and more collectable? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wateroftyne Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 Apparently the mod I refer to in my earlier post buffers the pickup as it should have been. They're supposed to sound great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
