Lord Sausage Posted July 13, 2010 Share Posted July 13, 2010 I've got £400 to spare. (rare as rockin horse sh*t). I,ve decided to purchase a fretless if possible as i don't have one and haven't played on one for about 12 yrs. does anyone know of a half decent or better fretless bass that i can buy brand new for around £350 to £400? thanks a lot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bythesea Posted July 13, 2010 Share Posted July 13, 2010 Does it have to be brand new? I bought a second hand (unmarked) CIJ fretless Jazz for round that figure. Wonderful bass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alternatively you might just snag a standard Warwick Corvette for £400, not too shabby if you prefer something away from the Fender track.

Viajero Posted July 13, 2010 Share Posted July 13, 2010 Be open about second-hand. I was looking for a fretless on that budget, and was hunting around for a while. Best bet, I figured, was an Ibanez Gary Willis on a big discount. In the end, though, I picked up an old Status 6er on this very forum. Certainly not what I went looking for, but never looked back.

If I keep it I'll get it sanded and epoxied. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EvilSmile Posted July 14, 2010 Share Posted July 14, 2010 The marks don't look too serious to me and i can't think of a reason why it would affect the tone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
