drewk_ie Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 Hi All, Does anyone know of, or does anyone own a fretless 4h Musicman Sub Bass (not sure if they were ever an option) ? Cheers Drew Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ezbass Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 (edited) I had de-fretted, it was lovely and I only just recently sold it on. I don't know if they did an ex-factory fretless, but the standard ones do lend themselves nicely to being made fretless. EDIT for pic [URL=http://s308.photobucket.com/user/ezbass/media/P1090199_zpsed464274.jpg.html][IMG]http://i308.photobucket.com/albums/kk344/ezbass/P1090199_zpsed464274.jpg[/IMG][/URL] Edited April 7, 2015 by ezbass Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drewk_ie Posted April 7, 2015 Author Share Posted April 7, 2015 Looks lovely... I do like a white bass! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drTStingray Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 They didn't make a factory Sub fretless but that looks great. Stingray fretlesses are great - in 3 band or 2 band form. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bassmachine2112 Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 The USA SUB series are top drawer basses,had mine since 2003,great bass Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcnach Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 Fantastic basses at ridiculous prices (for the amount of bass)... I am selling one of mine tomorrow, but the other one will stay with me. I've seen a SUB fretless once, unlined board, but it wasn't the original neck. The good news is it would not cost much to defret one. I've had two basses defretted (I removed the frets, and let a luthier finish the job properly, planing the board, filling fret slots etc). Under £100.

My memory is good enough for me to remember that it was textured black. It isn't good enough for me to remember what it was like as a bass.

bassmachine2112 Posted April 8, 2015 Share Posted April 8, 2015 An alternative is to get a USA Peavey fretless ,not easy to come across but they are great basses as well for chip money but keep it under your hat,don,t want the prices going up any more. Both have great build quality,sound great and play very well,Peavey maybe shades the musicman due to the micro tilt neck that works. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
