Long story for this one, for the sake of full disclosure.
I bought this bass new in 2005, when they re-released this model. It has Bartolini MK1 pickups and preamp, and is the lighter finish that they no longer make (only lasted a year, I think). Same, soft and easily dented finish as the newer ones.
Over a year ago, my wife and I defretted it, and filled the slots with hardening wood putty. The fingerboard was then sanded down to 320 grit and a dark stain was applied, first to the fretlines to help blend them in. The fretboard was later finished with a few coats of Tung Oil.
The fretboard isn't perfectly even. Once you get up to the 17th fretline, you 'fret-out' because the end of the fingerboard isn't level with the rest. I also think that the inlays didn't sand as low as the rest of the fingerboard, so you get some buzz off of them. The bottom of the nut was roughly sanded down to lower the action a bit.
As you can see, a new nut would be in order, though this one is workable.
DISCLAIMER: This bass will need work if you want to gig it. It IS playable, however. I had plans to get a sanding block and finish it, but I'm not a very good fretless player. I can get some different pics, but I can't promise they'll be great, or quick.
I'd like to get
$200 SHIPPED, OBO, with the neck removed. I'd also trade this for a plethora of things, mostly cheap basses (SX, Squier, etc.) for modding, a Squier VM Tele Bass, an 8-string, or any number of things.
