This one is being built with no rush, per my request. It is scheduled to be done closer to fall.

Gotcha...

Two days into fall!



God Bless, Ray

Just got off the phone with Gard. He says it really sounds good, even through his little amp at the shop. It's en route to Greg now, where it will stay for a couple weeks while I free up the rest of the cash to pay off the balance (rough summer, long story...), so maybe he will have a chance to record a couple clips of it while its there.

 

[SteveC]

That is going to sound amazing!

Nice Ryan! I bet that electronic configuration sounds amazing for the fretless. That top is great too. Makes me really want a buckeye topped bass of my own...

I like the pickup placement. What is the code or magic words to get that?

ask for it in your order. i've got a CS5+ being built right now with the neck pickup spaced at 2".

It's the JB placement, but with Bart CB's instead of J pickups.

Well, maybe with someone other than me playing it. It has been years since I have owned a fretless. I can see many, many hours in the basement with it in my future!

 

[SteveC]

You may be surprised. When I had my fretless it really only took a couple weeks before I took it out. It was just church, and I had to be a little more aware of what I was doing but I got through just fine.

 

[Ryan L.]

I am looking forward to it. One nice thing about it is that it identical to my other three basses, so muscle memory should come into play a little bit.

 

[Jeff Moote]

I am really curious about the Bart CBs in the JB position, though I'd really like to hear that combo on a fretted bass. I know it's going to be awesome for fretless.

 

[Ryan L.]

I really hope it sounds good on this one. According to Gard, this one sounds a bit fatter than his JB fretless, but that may be due to the mahogany body on this one, vs the ash body on his. Either way, that's what I was hoping for with this one, was just a little bit bigger, fatter tone than the normal JB basses.

I finally got it out of the box and photographed! Slurp, she's a beauty!!

And, Ryan, I don't think you'll be disappointed with the tone at all. It's a great sounding fretless. I'll try my best to get a clip recorded at some point soon...
