Perhaps that's also the reason why mass-produced multi scale fretless do not exist. (or do they ?)

In fact, to make my thread question complete: if I were 25 and not 63, I would consider to switch completely to multi scale basses, including fretless! Considering physics it makes so much sense and MS sounds really good. I think I’m too old for that and I really like two of my four string...

I actually own both types, and in your situation I would probably lean toward an acoustic fretless. My main acoustic is a four-string fretless from Furch (via Thomann) and I absolutely love it. The biggest advantages are the lower weight and the warm round tone that gets a bit closer to an...

Hi everyone, I have a question for those of you who regularly switch between a traditional fretless bass and a multiscale bass with fanned frets. I've been playing fretless for quite a while and have developed a fairly intuitive sense of finger placement and note positions. Because of that...

I just want to mention here the Joyo R-27 Bass Compressor Scylla. An absolutely great comp, esp. for the price! I think I got the idea to try/buy it here on TalkBass...

Me, who made up this thread, want to thank you all for your many replies! I didn't think there would be so much. I have the feeling the mainstream here goes to - leave the newly sanded ebony fingerboard as is (and try flats). Please continue commenting, I enjoy the various experiences and...

I have the same feeling, ebony is not ebony. And my first fretless was a fender P with a rosewood board (late 70'ies) which I did not like too much. Now I have three fretless with ebony and they differ fingerboard-wise.

I have a fretless bass, and a friend and bass player is currently sanding down the fretboard and removing the notches caused by the round-wound strings. I would like to play with flat-wound strings in the future, but I'm not sure if I'll stick with them forever. (I've never had flats on this...

Doesn't the spectrum contain an option for an OC-2 type Octave sound as well? With this, no other mini Octaver would be necessary, or am I wrong?

I will have a P 50 bass built and I have the idea to have 2 PU's my main Q is: where would you put 1the 2nd / alternative PU ? my reasons for 2 PU's: more sound flexibility, by having more or less 3 sounds - the original PU position with the single coil sound, which I like very much. - the...

Hey guys, thank you so much for all your input!! didn't expect that this would become such a great thread! what I am considering now: Model Furch Bc 61-CM 4 - Bass Guitar Models - Furch Guitars or that one Model Furch Bc 62-SW 4 - Bass Guitar Models - Furch Guitars I tried the first one...

This is what I'll do. All those huge basses are for sure delivering, but more flexibility and portability I get with such a combination. BTW I ordered myself an E-Bike and it's metaphorically the same thing - my bio-power + some "electric tailwind". Looking forward to go with the E-Bike, an ABG...

Thank you all so much!! Will investigate on some things....

Hey fellas! Wanna buy a 4-string acoustic which has some volume unamplified. All the ones I tried would not cope with one loud or 2 acoustic guitars. I saw some older posts here but want to know what's up in the meantime. Thanks for all your suggestions !!
