M@23 Posted December 30, 2014 Share Posted December 30, 2014 These look cool. I'd love to try one. Nevada is a good shop too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delberthot Posted December 31, 2014 Share Posted December 31, 2014 I've been waiting for someone to buy one of them to find out how good they are. I love precisions and I get fretless GAS all the time so interested to see how it performs. Interested to see if i could get a battery in the cavity for an EMG pickup. Usually the cavities are rather large Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JapanAxe Posted January 1, 2015 Share Posted January 1, 2015 Did it come with roundwounds? The one I tried had rounds, it was the only thing I didn't like about it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ezbass Posted January 1, 2015 Share Posted January 1, 2015 Glad to hear it performs well in the live environment, although it had little doubt that it would. Fretless rules! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] I own a fretless P Bass made in the mid 90s. I prefer the fretless P to a fretless Jazz. Love their tone. I am glad to see you are enjoying the bass. Played one a few weeks back and found it every bit as good sounding as my Fender one. Enjoy! Edited January 3, 2015 by fretlessguy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
notable9 Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 Bought my LPB VM P/J there too. Nice shop, and a great light weight bass for silly money... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
