My bass which I bought yesterday! My first bass so have a lot to learn. Hope it wasn't too big of a mouthful to decide to start out on a fretless, I don't think it was though. I don't really know a lot about this bass other than it's not available overseas (as in only available in Japan)...

I doubt it's gonna break so it's probably the reversed playing I should be looking out for... =P

My first bass, bought it yesterday!! Still need an amp (and to learn how to play - haha)

I have this catalog where it says that the market price for the bass is ¥99,750 (approx. $950), so if that's true then I made a pretty good deal. I actually asked the guy in the shop how it could be so cheap (before I knew the market price, just figured $400 was cheap for a lefty fender) and he...

Yeah I think (hope) it was a good find, and that I will be happy with it. I'm pretty sure I will. Tomorrow I have to buy a strap and an amp (and cables of course.) I'm a bit in doubt about which amp to buy though. A friend of a friend (he plays the bass as well) recommended I just buy a small...

oook, so I bought a bass today!! Took me a lot of traveling back and forth (and getting lost, but I'm used to that) but eventually I decided on getting it. It's a fretless leftie Fender. JB62-FL/LH. Can't really find anything about it online though. It says Crafted in Japan on the back of the...

Is Rondo bad? I like this one Link Removed... I was surprised how natural fretless felt, really... are there any major drawbacks to choosing fretless over fretted? other than fretted might be easier in the beginning of course....

AAH dying a bit over here! So I went to this used instrument shop today and I found a really nice bass. Fretless, righty, but it was so perfect (at least to my untrained eye). The price was ALL RIGHT as well (a tad expensive but ok..). So I decided to buy it! THEN the guy in the shop checked it...

neonrust: I'm in Saitama! think it might be a bit far to travel to Yokosuka for music gear shops (not saying that it won't EVER happen though).... danomite64: don't know Soundgear, gonna check them out now. Thanks for the suggestion :D amimbari: you're right! At first I was like darn (was...

hmm those Epiphones look quite nice, really... definitely a possibility! haha! For amps I've been looking at the ones by Orange http://orangeamps.com/products.asp?Action=View&ID=95. But I'm not really sure if they're worth the money. Else there is the Roland Micro cube (bass rx) - but I'm not...

Yes.. I did mean the strap buttons. Still trying to get the lingo down.. ahahah! How is slapping (and popping) when the bass is strung as yours is? Stil possible? Seriously SERIOUSLY considering just pulling a Hendrix here (your style is a bit too advanced)...so much easier getting nice...

I'm not sure... they make a left handed SR-300. That's all I know.... amimbari: checked out your youtube! Badass playing! Seriously! flipped around bass and everything.. I see you worked around the knob (for the strap) problem. Just added another knob yourself or??

Whoa thanks for all your replies guys! I'd sort of decided to buy a bass today, but I didn't know if I should go for the Fernandes or Danelectro that I'd been looking at. To be honest I was a bit in doubt if I even wanted either of them. The feeling wasn't 100% there if you know what I mean...

I'm looking for a bass (my first) but it's proving to be a lot harder than expected. I'm getting a leftie bass and I'm willing to spend around 600$ on it. Thing is, I'm in Japan so you can't really rely on the American prices - it's more expensive here. I've been to a lot of shops and only...

Gonna check them out this weekend. Was planning to go there last week but didn't have time.. I called one of their shops though and they said they had a bunch of leftie basses. Thing is just if I should go cheap or expensive.. hmm.. Perhaps I shall let their selection inspire me... Doesn't...
