    Hey Caprice Cutlass fans... It's been a couple of months since anyone has posted anything. The used inventory is dry. Not seeing much at all. I'm hoping to find a unique color one day soon. Was contemplating selling my literally brand new Heritage Caprice witht he sticky labels still on it! But...

    Strings digging into the neck past the nut on a Fender fretless Jazz Special.

    There are 2 distinct causes and neither are preventable given the way the heed stock was made. First, it's the height of the nut which should be cut lower given the fact that there are no frets. The second contributing factor relates to the trajectory of the string angle from the backside of...

    Right you are. I stand corrected. I overlooked that the Special is not a limited issue but an actual model. But still the Cutlass should still be at or under 9 pounds. If the reason for wanting a lightweight instrument has to do with chronic pain issues (back, neck or shoulder), I'm sure you're...

    All of the Cutlass basses are under 9 pounds. It's the lightest a34" scale model made by Ernie Ball. Much of it has to do with the smaller Cutlass body.

    The Caprice I once had. Black with maple board. My brother took this one from me. Swapped the original RW board neck for a Maple off of my white Caprice.

    My 2 Caprices... White with rosewood that was a result of a neck swap with a black Caprice. Then there is my heritage with rosewood that I love as well.

    Haven't seen many cutlass or caprice basses on the market lately which is usually an indication that we'll see a handful crop up soon! Thoughts and Prayers!

    Well it looks like the Black Caprice with the Maple Neck I had established in the famed neck swap with the white one is leaving me. But it won't be far away and it will still stay in the family. I was going to hold onto it myself hoping to see a jump in the price much like the Pre-EB Sabres. But...

    New Caprice Bass Day for me! I bought this black one from a fellow TB member. Of course it had the neck with rosewood fretboard. But I liked the blend of opposite color tones between the fretboard and the body tones. So I went back and swap necks with my white Caprice so that the black one gets...
