odub Posted December 19, 2008 Share Posted December 19, 2008 I can certainly vouch for the quality and attention to detail of Prosebasses work. Value for money in bucket loads, innovation, unique and a great guy to deal with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chipps Posted December 19, 2008 Share Posted December 19, 2008 Looks lovely... And I'm after a fretless at the moment. I was leaning towards a Squier VM fretless though as I have a Jap Jazz too. How different to a Jazz is it? Apart from a slightly thicker neck? Just off to my works Christmas do now, so I'll have to refrain from coming home drunk and snapping it up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just off to my works Christmas do now, so I'll have to refrain from coming home drunk and snapping it up [/quote] In that case I will refuse to sell it to you later..... It has more bottom end, middle and growl than a Jazz but then different Precisions and Jazz's sound different and a lot is your fingers.... I had a Squier Jazz and until I put a J-East retro and uprated pups (about £150.00) it sounded crap and always felt flimsy. The Mighty Mite necks I use are a licensed direct replacement for Fenders and are much superior to Squier items. I build my basses to be played and although aesthetics are important I think sound / price ratio is more important. If you need some sound clips I'll try and get some posted later.

rjb Posted December 19, 2008 Share Posted December 19, 2008 (edited) Hi Prose, are you going to be making these on a regular basis? I'm not flush with cash at the moment having just bought a pile of prezzies, but I'd be very interested next year. Just looking for a basic waxed natural fretless P a bit like this one.... Cheers Edited December 19, 2008 by rjb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
