A store in Westwood, Westwood Music, has a Manne Fretless. Everytime I go it is the best bass in the store. Beautiful instruments.

Is it missing the knobs or did you remove them? Nice bass.

No the original ones were rusty so I replaced them...unluckily I couldn't find any black knobs so I had to stick to the usual chrome ones (which don't look bad on it at all despite the black bridge and machine heads IMHO )

Nice! Manne makes excellent basses.

Manne makes fantastic basses. My Manne Trea 5 is what a Jazz bass should be in the third Millenium: Honky, funky, growly, yet able to achieve even upright thud (with the neck pickup solo-ed and the tone rolled off).

Enjoy your Manne!!!

Cool!!!I've always wanted to try a Trea...it must really deliver with the 3 J pick ups...definitely an awesome bass!!!

 

[fullrangebass]

This specific Trea is a Custom one with Mahogany body and maple top. On the heavy side of the scale (11+lb), yet the tone is heavy too (not muddy, though). It's a great Jazz by all means (and then some)

 

[Sbociol]

Ya mine's around 11 libs as well...I have wide enough shoulders luckily

My Basic 5's tone is very warm and round,full of lows and mids and it definitely cuts through the mix easily...it even has a push/pull tone knob to split the bridge humbucker in order to achieve a more slappyish sound

 

[fullrangebass]

The Basic really shows that is a player!!! I am sure it is a joy to listen to it and play it.

Just awesome,man!

Is it missing the truss rod cover?Mine has three string retainers on the headstock,but I can't see any on yours am I right?

I've played them at the Atlanta Bass Gallery. Incredible basses for sure. Just not my thing and they are pricey.
