Fretless Fender/Fender style club

Show us your fretless p and or j style basses, or for that matter any Fender or Fender style bass and get a number!

Here’s mine, it started It’s life as a parts p.
Then I started this other project with a ’72 fender neck, well long story short I got bored Sunday and stuck the ’72 neck on my main p and WOW what a difference!

This thing sounds a lot brighter, has more sustain and a super fat back profile that I like much more then the neck that was on there.

?Number 2?

Yep you're number 2.
I'll get a list going once we get a few more people in here.
That is a very nice looking bass too.

I don't own it anymore, so no number needed.

Does home made count?
1971 Telecaster bass. In 1974, I stripped the finish, reshaped and contoured the body, pulled the frets and inlayed hand whittled graduated width walnut fret markers.

Still have it, but she's semi-retired.

Here`s my 2001 Fender Precision that I had defretted last year as my birthday gift from my girlfriend. It was my very first bass that I bought(back in 2001) and it wasn`t getting much attention from me so I thought I`d make some modifications to it.
I love it!
Can I get a number?

I have one but I'm not joining any clubs .

RandyMolson · #20 04-08-2011, 04:26 PM

The real value of the TB clubs is they are superthreads on special interest topics - with lots of bass pron to boot. That's how I see them them anyway.
