Cairobill Posted November 22, 2009 Share Posted November 22, 2009 I remember these at the bass centre in Wapping about 1986. They were very, very, cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cd_david Posted December 1, 2009 Author Share Posted December 1, 2009 Clearer images of the fingerboard, the marks are only surface they dont effect the sound and would come out with a very light sand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeoFender Posted December 1, 2009 Share Posted December 1, 2009 (edited) I used to have a half fretted Steinberg-esque Wilkes in blue, fantastic instrument, just wish i had some spare cash. Edited December 1, 2009 by LeoFender Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peaty Posted December 1, 2009 Share Posted December 1, 2009 Oooh an excellent bit of wood work for the cash. I am sorely tempted but cant justify another fretless 4. Hmmmm still its very tempting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
