Annoying Twit Posted March 19, 2010 Share Posted March 19, 2010 Certain German on-line sellers always seem to have fretless six-strings in their model lineup. Is there a big market for cheap six string fretless basses? I'd have thought it was a rather limited market.

Delberthot Posted March 20, 2010 Share Posted March 20, 2010 possibly because they are easier to make than having to mark out where the frets go, cut the slots, fit the frets, file down the edges etc? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theosd Posted March 25, 2010 Share Posted March 25, 2010 That's pretty attractive for £200 actually. Neck thru too! But no, I wouldn't buy it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
