Gold Tone Microbass

I've got the 25 in the fretless. I don't play it enough but it's pretty nice.

 

I Just got the 25”, fretless, lefty! I understand from my dealer that the 25” has better intonation. Sounds great. Very close to upright bass.

 

I have a 23” lined fretless. I’d have preferred unlined but couldn’t find one. I had started with a fretted 23” but the fretless sounds more “upright-like” and intonation isn’t the same issue as with frets - so I’m happier now. I also like the Aquila strings that come on the bass for their tone and feel and playing fretless avoids the “dents” that occur over the frets. I never tried 25” but I like the compact size of the 23” and can’t see an advantage to the longer scale - maybe with frets?

 

Some uke basses come with flatwounds.

 

I have a 23 fretless. Very easy to play and sounds pretty good. Only thing I don´t like is a sort of "wah-wah" sound on the E and G string from 4th and up to 7th fret. This is very annoying. Changed to fresh original strings, but it doesn´t help. Very close to give up this bass. Does anyone have a suggestion about getting rid of this problem?

 

I have the Les Paul lookalike 23” MBE lefty lined fretless & it’s great fun to play with solid intonation but I put La Bella non rubber strings on it so feels more natural. Some nice mwah from the little fella

 

Not a gold tone but I had a 24" uke bass for a while. Sounded nice and was a fun novelty but I came to realize it didn't have any real use so I sold it.
