This bass was made for me by Mauricio Costa @MGBass and it´s an absolute gem!

It is definitely one of the best sounding fretless basses I´ve ever layed my hands on, the combination of the neck and body woods, combined with the Nordstrand pickups gives you a tone to die for.

I only sold it to Torvic because I was starting to experience some health problems in my left arm and shoulder and I only play short and medium scale basses these days because of that.

Sad to see you´re selling this Torvic, I hope all is well..

Kind regards,

Don

Thanks for sharing Don. I agree that it is an absolutely wonderful fretless - ergonomic and sounds great! It's in the exact great condition as I received it from you.

There is another bass that has caught my eye and as I have too many basses, I have to follow the rule of 1-out for 1-in. I am more partial to 4-stringers now. 

Unfortunately I haven't used this bass much at all and hence letting it go. Anyone looking for a great sounding and great playing fretless will definitely get a great deal with this one!

I recorded some sound samples with different settings. The bass was connected directly to my audio interface. No effect or mastering was used. The track was exported with default normalization.

The settings: 

neck pickup - tone fully open - midway - fully closed

both pickups - tone fully open - midway - fully closed

bridge pickup - tone fully open - midway - fully closed
