Shockwave Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 Been looking at this one fretless for the 2 months it has been listed, wondering why no one ever bought it! Gorgeous topped body, 7 string fretless. Kent Armstrong pups and pre, wilkenson hardware, 18volt circuit. having just bought a Musicman Stingray fretless, i thought i might as well go with this as i was on a roll! Now lets just hope this thing plays nice Look like i have gone full time fretless! Full review of this puppy when i get it, i am sure a number of you would be interested in getting one of these considering the price! Only problem for me is that is 35 inch scale Rob.

lemmywinks Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 How much if ya don't mind me asking? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shockwave Posted August 12, 2009 Author Share Posted August 12, 2009 £350, If i dont like it then you can take it for that price ;-) They have put their prices up recently to 460 and this was the last of the old stock. Just spent 60 quid on custom strings for both my new fretless's so hard to light gauge strings in a stock pack Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ped Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 Ah yes I have seen these - a direct copy of the Marleaux Consat body shape. Looks nice for £350 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I knew it was a copy of something and i know marleux's but couldnt think properly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ped Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 The edges of the body are slightly less contoured and the top horn on the Marleaux is slightly teardropped as you can see here.

Dood Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 Lovely piece of wood - for that price you are laughing. My only reservation at the moment is that the upper horn seems to stop above the 14th fret - and with the heavy headstock, you may be looking at getting a big fat strap to counter the effects of it feeling a bit neck heavy - but hey, it looks nice - i hope it plays as well too!

Shockwave Posted August 13, 2009 Author Share Posted August 13, 2009 Turns out the bass in the auction was a stock picture, so mine could turn out better looking or worse We'll see! Rob. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
littleal Posted August 14, 2009 Share Posted August 14, 2009 I bought a hk sixer for my girlfriend around 4 months ago & she can't put it down, she loves it. Here's my quick sum up of it.
