I am suddenly interested in fretless basses, and how easy they are to play.  

 

I want to:

Experience lined v unlined; understand the difference in fretboard materials; contemplate mwah v no mwah.

 

Is anyone bringing a fretless bass to the Bass Bash, that they can demonstrate to me?

 

Thanks in advance. 

 

 

I can bring my lined G&L L2500

[prowla]

I had a brief play on a Kubicki fretless today. 
Sadly it was priced at £3k, so I had to give it a miss.

I'll have a 6-string unlined maple board that @TheGreek made me buy and a 5-string lined mystery brown wood board. 

[6feet7]

Can't make it now. Sorry. Wife has to have a medical check.

Are you sure it was me? AFAIR I've only bought one sixer and I still have it.

There’s more than one way to be an enabler… 🤣

It was the 6-string Pedulla fretless that you posted a link to.

[TheGreek]

Ah, thank you. 

 

I remember now.

I have a couple of unused NY 130 gauge B-strings (one tapered, one not) that I can add to this as I’ll not use them

[greentext]

I will likely not be attending anymore due to joining a band and they are shooting a music video the night of the 11th into the early morning of the 12th. i'll leave myself in the list and update the morning of if I can attend or not. A real shame as I was very much excited to meet you all and play your basses poorly haha

[mrn1989]

Unfortunately I haveto pull out also, who can I post the raffle donation to, so it can still be of use?

 

Removed myself from the list for other to copy pasta

You do realise that playing a 12 string will be endlessly more fun than miming/crying/looking moody/dressing up as a banana or whatever people do in music videos any more.

Now I'm back in my home I've been looking into building one of the BC112 cabs ... at present a Beyma SM212 is one its way to me from a kind BCer!

So why mention here?

I'm wondering if anyone coming next week might be bringing one of the BC112s loaded with such a driver so I can get an idea of sound/size/weight.

 

S'manth x

[Chimike]

I'll pop mine in the car, if I have room.

[Stingray5]

Another dropout here, I'm afraid. 😢
I was really looking forward to this (especially as I had to miss last year after my car was written off), but recording commitments this week now mean I won't be able to sneak away for a few hours. 
However, if there's any change of plan and I can make it along, then I'll be there.

[tubbybloke68]
