It started during the pandemic when he was putting on videos from home about how he came up with bass lines and how they changed as they write the songs. Killer stuff! then on the radio a few weeks ago The power Station “Some Like it Hot” came on. Sent me into a deeper hole of finding anything...

this is my set up! Tone Hammer 500 through a SL112. I keep everything about 12 o clock. Super warm vintage tone. I absolutely love it. I do all my coloring with the SRS5 preamp.

Oh man this is a different beast altogether. Off the bat I noticed the 08 was quite mid forward and not necessarily as warm and balanced as my Special. It took a little dialing to get the tone I was looking forward. Backed the mids a bit and boosted the bass slightly. Still need to tweak things...

Just following up with my previous post. When did the Special designation come about? This is an 2008 SR5 line fretless next to my Special.

so just got the Fretless in. I’m still feeling it out. Needed some tweaking to my preference, will need to order the flats I want, but I think it’ll scratch that itch. It’s an 2008 lined fretless with Pau Ferro, vintage sunburst and tort guard. Compliments my Special nicely.

@LowEndLobster is the younger Gene Shalit of bass

don’t worry, I will picture the two together for you guys ;)

GC. I do a search every few days to come across something like this. Obviously @LadyLovesStingray5 isn’t going to sell their BFR so I was happy this popped up. If all is well with it, it’ll be a great match to my Burnt Ends SR5

I may have solved my “I don’t have a fretless” problem… stay tuned

How do you even contact them for a quote? I don’t have Facebook but seems like the only place I can find them online. I know the owner is a user here.

So no Fretless :( I’d never want to defret a EBMM but I’m thinking more and more of doing it to a Sterling

this is what I’m praying for

I just want a fretless stingray….. but this is cool. There will be 100 lucky bassists. Slightly off topic: I feel like it’s en vogue for almost any industry now to offer super limited stuff for a mark up. I’m seeing it everywhere now all of a sudden. I wear New Balance because I have Flintstone...
