Pino on a budget - Fretless Stingray style bass £225 Chorley, Lancs. PR6

[ead]

Hi folks

 

I did this as a fun project, but sadly about 2 yrs too late as my arthritis is not so good now, and whilst I can just about wrestle a tune out of a bass, it isn't getting any easier.  There is a separate thread on this bass here:

 

 

The specs are as follows:

 

The doner bass is a DiMavery MM501 - surprisingly good tbh!  The bass has a Basswood body, maple neck with a lovely satin finish and nice Rosewood board.  This has bee upgraded with a Retrovibe Stinger preamp and Retrovibe MM pickup which required a bit of widening of the control cavity, also some LaBella LT flats.  Finally, I spray painted the pickguard black - not a great job but looks fine from about 2 metres or more away.

 

If you have any questions please ask away.

 

I have packaging and can post the bass, and will go 50/50 with you on the cost if postage is your preference.  Also happy to meet up somewhere mutually convenient of it's not too far away.  Here are a few pics:

For some reason I like sunburst much better on non-Fender(-style) instruments.  To the extent that I'm tempted by this.

Hmm.
