mfisher91 Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 (edited) I know there is already a thread about what first fretless bass to buy, and there's some good advice there too, but my question is slightly different. I'm looking at buying a fretless bass, but cannot afford the higher price tags. My current bass is a Fender p bass (99/2000). I really like the look of the Aria Pro II fretless that's currently on eBay, anyone got any knowledge on it? He's sent me extra pictures and information and it looks really nice, but I wanted to see if anyone's played one before. I've also been looking at a fretless jazz Fender [url="http://www.guitarguitar.co.uk/bass_guitars_detail.asp?stock=11112215343358#main-product-overview"]http://www.guitargui...roduct-overview[/url], I'm guessing this is the mexican one? It doesn't say but I see others (none signature) that are £1000+ Any reviews on Warick Rockbass too?

bh2 Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 I had an Aria SB1000 fretless... damn fine instrument. Sold it to someone here, it went straight to a shop I think. Squier VM Jazz fretless is very nice and a good price too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Qlank Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 I've got a VM fretless, lovely bass for the money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EssentialTension Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 It's not essential but the more your fretless bass is like your fretted bass then the better your muscle memory will serve you when you change over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mfisher91 Posted July 19, 2013 Author Share Posted July 19, 2013 Thanks for the advice. The aria really does look nice, and I've seen a nice looking Warick Corvette too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RAY AGAINST THE MACHINE Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 If you can find a Vester ( not curry), try one. Great basses& not pricey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Fretbuzz Posted July 20, 2013 Share Posted July 20, 2013 I might look at the Fender Jazz Fretless at some stage :-) pretty sure it's Mexican Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neepheid Posted July 20, 2013 Share Posted July 20, 2013 [quote name='EssentialTension' timestamp='1374241472' post='2146802'] It's not essential but the more your fretless bass is like your fretted bass then the better your muscle memory will serve you when you change over. [/quote] Agreed, I got a BB350F with that exact reasoning in mind (I had a BB300 at the time, had a BB614 before that and currently have a BB450) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
