lownote Posted March 30, 2022 Share Posted March 30, 2022 (edited) As title really. There aren't many unlined basses around, and the only fiver I know of and have owned is the Ibanez Portamento, which has stub lines. I'm looking for a clean board with just on-the-note dots at 'frets' 3, 5, 7, 9 etc. Any steers? Edited March 31, 2022 by lownote Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

velvetkevorkian Posted March 30, 2022 Share Posted March 30, 2022 Some recent discussion on this: As mentioned there, I have a Sadowsky Metro Express, although if your budget will stretch to the Wal above you might have a few more options!

drTStingray Posted March 30, 2022 Share Posted March 30, 2022 Not one but four!! Roasted highly figured maple neck and fingerboard on this one, and quite a lot cheaper than the single pick up used Wal at Bass Direct. https://shop.music-man.com/ernie-ball-music-man-stingray5-special-fuego.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buy it. Wait 10 years and sell. It'll do better than your pension fund 😉. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
