It's the one you'll need that you won't have.

These are the strap buttons on my Warwick. I got the instrument used so I don't know if they're original. And if they're not I don't know what brand they are. But they do work really, really well:

I've been wanting to pursue playing fretless, and though I already have a Sire P7, which is a beautiful quality instrument with an amazing neck that plays wonderfully, its preamp controls are, frankly, byzantine and continually baffle me. So, I've been keeping my eye open for an alternative...

Nice art work. Thanks for posting. :thumbsup:

I like the new look. I think it's pretty cool.

I'm 6 ft 1 in and I also prefer a medium-scale bass, though I don't think height or arm length has anything whatsoever to do with my preference. It has more to do with arthritis in my fingers than anything else.

Most of my basses were bought just because they were so damn pretty and therefore now just hang on the wall or sit in a stand and never get played. I can only play one at a time, and there's maybe three or four that I would rather play over all the others. I should sell half my basses, but I'd...

Has the OP considered downsizing to a shorter scale? I have arthritis in my fingers and find the medium scale preferable, as the string tension is slightly looser. Even more so short scale, though I don't think the short-scale tone quite measures up. And I have tried a few.
