Anybody else catch this? I couldn't find a thread and I'm curious what you all think.
From their post:
"Dingwall introduces the new segmented-line fretless fingerboard.
Lined fretless fingerboards provide a great visual reference, but often the filler material can cause buzzes during seasonal...

So I got a really nice, used Mighty Mite unlined fretless P bass neck from the classifieds (thanks Jackcrow). This is my first time really playing an unlined fretless...the only time I touched one was long time ago at a GC.
Honestly I was kinda nervous, thinking the fingerboard was gonna feel...
Hello all, I am just posting a quick first impressions and write-up on my new Sandberg Thinline Custom 5, since these are relatively rare and not much has been written about them, on English bass sites at least and short of one or two videos, YouTube doesn't have much quality content on them...
Bought this inexpensive fretless just to give it a try and it looks and sounds great. Once again I am finding that playing anything 34” scale is painful for my wrist so I’m letting it go cheap.
$70 OBO local to the DFW area. Shipping would be too expensive. However if you have some cheap way...

I'm sure this has been discussed before, but a quick search didn't turn it up...
Question about the position of dots on unlined fretless basses and fretlines on lined fretless basses.

I bought a weird parts bass with a 1966 Fender neckplate. Seller agreed it wasn't really 1966 and sold it cheap, but it got me thinking maybe this neck is a MIJ reissue of a 60's P?
Reverse tuners, front logo seems to be in the wrong place, back of headstock has been sanded (photo doesn't...

Hi, I figured this is the place to ask.
I was going to commission a Marleaux Diva fretless bass w/fret lines on the neck. These are pretty expensive basses but I thought that with the time that I have available, it would be a nice shortcut to getting some useable time with the bass.
Someone I...

Probably the nicest Zon I have ever come across. It's in mint condition with no issues of any kind.
This one has optional maple fret position markers on the edge of the finger board. The dots are in the same position as on a fretted bass which makes the transition to fretless much easier for...
