Fretless bass survey

@ Hellzero.... christ mate thats just obscene 🙂

 

sold my wal 6 string fretless because this 6r is better ! not joking, plays better, sounds better feels better, no dead spots and it was ridiculously cheap ( review on here somewhere)  , i still have a wal out of my wall collection of 7 and others i have had, including the midibass, ( which i should not have sold as i need it now) but can say for deffo they are not all made equally !

 

so here are my two for now

1 a HK 6, ( before they became wolf) burl poplar

2, Doug Wilks jazz, tiger stripe maple/ebony, with john east, MEC gold pickups, schallers

I occasionally pick up my fretless, do a couple of slides, play the bass solo from Lost Horizons (Mo Foster in the first MSG album), noodle about for a while, and then put it back down to wait for the next occasion.

One even rarer occasions, I pick up my Ashbory, but between its miniscue scale, being fretless, and rubber strings, it's almost impossible to play anything even remotely in tune.
