tazza1 Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 (edited) [quote name='kurcatovium' post='1260690' date='Jun 8 2011, 08:13 AM']Good priced Thunder at gumtree: [url="http://www.gumtree.com/p/for-sale/westone-bass-guitar/81697667"]http://www.gumtree.com/p/for-sale/westone-...guitar/81697667[/url][/quote] Yes I thought I'd seen that one before - if you do a search on "Westone" in the UK on Gumtree you'll find that he's advertised it before. Now though he's omitted the fact that it's been de-fretted! That's OK if you want a fretless of course but I think I would probably mention that just in case?! "This bass has been de-fretted, which means the fret seperators have been removed, giving it a nice jazzy fretless sound. The bass has been independently valued at £80. It would be £150 if it had not been de-fretted, as it's a fiddly job re-fretting it which would suit someone with a workshop and the right tools."

His assertion that cheap bridge can be added is a bit misleading as well. Arias like these have the bridge routed into the body, so with most bridges you're likely to see the rout unless it's filled. A better move would be to have the rout deepened a little. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
