POST YOUR FRETLESS!!!

[the low one]

Stock pickups and roundwound strings. I think you mean by not using the neck pickup Actually, it gives me a Jaco-ish sound with, with the tone knob in the right position, enough bottom end!

@Lonnybass: Isn't that a HUGE action or is the picture playing tricks with my eyes?

Sorry, got my pickups mixed up

Here's my fretless Jazz

He has like a TWO YEAR wait now if you want you frettless refinished with that high gloss shine etc...no??

Ive allready been on the list 2 years. When my turn came up, I didnt have a fretless at the time. He said just let him know when I got another one, and he would fit me in somehow. Nice guy

Your bass kills me every time I see it, and every time I hear it.
Not to mention you play like a monster

What make is this bass???

The maker's name is Armen Blbulian. It is number 7 on his website:

I am not the original owner. I am at most, the 3rd owner. That's as far back as I could track it.

Thanks for the interest.

thanks for the reply, love that body shape!

Here's my Deluxe Jazz, this was taken at the place I bought it from.

Here is my in-progress Birdsong - the body got it's first coat of oil yesterday. It'll have a standard Birdsong neck w/unlined ebony board when it gets assembled, along with a bridge humbucker, neck single coil, and two volume knobs (no tone knob).

Thanks Mark - I love my fretless too - while I love gorgeous top woods and some of the killin' Roscoe body shapes - my bass is really unique, like no one else has one like it - and it really has a unique tone IMO, the combintaion of the ebody board and the all-African mahony body + neck is pretty unusual but it makes for a great tone - it's also a very light instrument - so no aching shoulders or back!

Some tuneful tunes here:

Got this custom 6-string fretless from Jim Fleeting last saturday. Bit scary going from a 4 string fretted to this but i'm loving it so far!
