Alberto Rigoni Posted September 5, 2023 Share Posted September 5, 2023 Hello guys, I'm looking exactly for this bass: Zimmerly Silly Bass fretless, sold some years ago by Reverb. Please let me know if you know who could be the owner today. thanks a lot Alberto Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
itu Posted September 5, 2023 Share Posted September 5, 2023 Zon Hyperbass? Some Wishbasses looked as bad/ good. How many 3 octave fretless basses there are? Those two mentioned, Tune, and there was that excellent looking dark bass with the pickup hidden under the fretboard. Name forgotten, sorry.

Hellzero Posted September 5, 2023 Share Posted September 5, 2023 Jerzy Drozd is also making some 3 octaves basses or more precisely 36 positions basses. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hellzero Posted September 5, 2023 Share Posted September 5, 2023 Conklin and RMI (same look as the Zon Hyperbass) made a lot of 36 positions basses. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hellzero Posted September 5, 2023 Share Posted September 5, 2023 I guess it's this bass you're mentioning, @itu: 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hellzero Posted September 5, 2023 Share Posted September 5, 2023 Or maybe, it's the Pagelli bass, a true work of art and, to me, one of the most beautiful bass ever made: 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gerald Marleaux himself. Looping the loop. 😉 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Certainly when I asked Pagelli about getting a "Golden Bass" made he pointed me in the direction of Marleaux who then ignored all my emails.

BigRedX Posted September 6, 2023 Share Posted September 6, 2023 Just now, Hellzero said: Do you sometimes read what others write? Yes I did. AFAIK the Marleaux version of the Pagelli Bass was a different instrument to the Diva, hence my comment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
