I've emphasised this even more with a set of brand new Rotosound black nylon strings (put on since the photos were taken).

warwickhunt Posted February 20, 2016 Share Posted February 20, 2016 I've got the unlined fretless version of this and the amount of 'mwwwwaah' available from these is ridiculous, mainly down to the resonator body construction. Glad you mentioned the weight because these are a god send if a heavy bass is the bane of your life. GLWTS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
6feet7 Posted February 20, 2016 Author Share Posted February 20, 2016 (edited) This has been my second and they are wonderful in sound and weight, but GAS has returned in the shape of the 5 string version, so it has to go.

AustinArto Posted March 1, 2016 Share Posted March 1, 2016 I also had an unlined ebony-boarded one of these back in 1992-4 and it sounded absolutely amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
6feet7 Posted March 1, 2016 Author Share Posted March 1, 2016 (edited) This has been my second and love it, but have moved over to 5 strings so it has to go. Edited March 8, 2016 by 6feet7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marc S Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 Looks lovely Sadly, I need to sell a bass before I can buy another (as ever seems to be the case lol) GLWTS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marc S Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 Pah, I really wanted this bass, as it's different from everything else I have - which is mostly Fender shaped Shame about this, and sorry for 6feet7 that this fab looking bass didn't sell - it was silly money for such a nice instrument Ah well, maybe the marketplace will pick up? Hope so..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
