Fretless bitsa PJ EMG geezer pickups hipshot hardwear £300 North Devon

[Tjhooker]

Here is my Fretless bitsa I put together about a year ago.

 

It is a Squire PJ body ( these body's are slightly slimmer and therfore a bit lighter!).

Wearing a black pickguard.

A set of emg geezer butler pj pickups and wiring.

Fully shieled with copper tape in the cavities.

All black hardwear.

Hardwear is a hipshot aluminium a bridge and hipshot ultralight licensed tuners. (One tuner is missing the Philips head but is working and nice and tight) Schaller straplocks and a black F neck plate.

 

The neck is a Chinese jazz Width, roasted maple with a rosewood board, tusq nut and the truss rod at the headstock end.
It works very well with the body with a nice tight fit in the neck pocket.

I've applied a F logo on the headstock under nitro vintage tint.

There are a few scratches on the headstock but not very visible as you can see from the photos.

 

The weight is 8.5 lbs on my luggage scale.

 

I spent a lot of time gathering the right parts for the build with the idea of a light weight fretless, the Squire body, roasted neck and hipshot hardwear all helped achieve this.

It plays very well and has some excellent tones and fretless wah. The roasted neck feels amazingly smooth and is very easy to get around.

I'm really please with how the build turned out.

 

It's strung with d'addario xl from memory.

Also included is a Fender deluxe gig bag.

 

I'm only selling as I need a hollow body fretless to suit a new project I'm evolved in and need to raise a bit of cash. I will definitely miss this bass but can't justify two fretless basses!

 

Collection welcome from North Devon welcome or I have a bass bros shipping box so I can send it.

 

And questions get in touch.

 

Cheers.. Tom
