Arrow FS: Fretless Ronin 51, Completely Hand built by by W. Nelson Joyce

Sign in to disble this ad
For Sale is my one of a kind completely hand built Swan Song Ronin '51 Fretless. With out a doubt this is the best sounding bass I have ever owned and will ever own probably. When I took this to the local shop they were astounded by how full and natural and so warm this bass sounded. You can tell by the sound how much love was put into this bass's creation.

Alder Body With and Eastern Maple Top
Scale of this bass is 35"
The pickup is a single handwound Lollar passive
The Tuners and Bridge are hipshot (the only machine made thing on this bass)
The neck is a maple flatsawn neck with wenge board (fretless, with no fret lines)

I bought this bass out of love but also as an investment and it looks like it is time to cash this bass in to be able to contribute towards some college tuition. As noted this bass originally was 1600 dollars delivered. I would like to try for 1400 shipped CONUS inside a Protec Case. So you are paying probably 150 for packaging and shipping and insurance and an extra 50 for the case.

I take very close care to this bass. It is my holy grail and It has only been serviced by the best, stayed in my room at all times, never gigged, hung on a herculues stand (to ensure a true neck), and even been in a climate controlled room. As you can tell by the pictures this bass was never abused.

This bass is one of a kind, its a lifetime oppertunity to own a bass that was built by the same luthier as some of the greats, including Bakithi Kumalo, Michael Manring, and Richard Bona.

Oh, sorry... I meant in the sense of completed, since from the pictures I can't see that it has been rounded off at the edges. I'm sure the finish in the varnish or laquor-sense has been done well.

Yes, I think it has the highest options available in the model. The 950 ones have much less features on them
