    Removing fretlines from a fretless fretboard

I am sort of a minimalist and have a one bass at a time rule. So it's worth the extra work sometimes to make sure I have something I...

    The Schecter bass show off

    Schecter Stilleto 5. Really badly want the Schecter Stilleto Studio 6 fretless. But for some reason they don't sell that one in the awesome black finish of its counterparts, and I don't want lined frets. *sigh* desiring a bass that is not even made.

    What bass player inspired you to start playing?

    Martin Eric Ain. His tone on Monotheist is just so dark and heavy. When I heard it, I immediately made up my mind that bass is the darkest and heaviest instrument.

    Nice bass trashed by a stupid kid

    I used to take the stickers off cd cases as I bought them and stick them all over my first guitar, then one day I peeled them all off. Really regret doing that because it was neat.
