leftyhook Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 A conversion,? Position markers being where they are. I had a copy of a Ripper. Big bass, but loved the sound and that big tone selector. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
up-b Posted February 9, 2012 Author Share Posted February 9, 2012 no conversion. if you compare this bass with any other fretless bass now the dots are slighty different. It's an original one and rare instrument. Good tone, good feel. But i like my 4 string jazz bass (fretted) more Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evilLordJuju Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 Yeah, Gibson were a bit slow on this, and early fretless basses did indeed have the side dots in the wrong place. Nothing a marker pen and some tipex can't (reversibly) fix Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
