What's the story on that Goya?

Details here

Sings like an angel, very old school fretless vibe. I was going to sell it at first, but after playing it a bit I decided to keep it close to home. Currently has 1/2 rounds on it, excellent tone. All in, including buying the bass on the 'bay, the Tokai neck, new tuners and vintage covers ... ~$300 (not including strings) ..... worth every penny!

I just have to say... you look way cooler than your band-mates.

Do my eyes deceive me, or is that a fretless guitar?

Hello Lokire, thank you very much, I did make it myself, you could say I'm a part time luthier, just waiting to get my web site finished and then the adds go out and we'll see what happens, been building for a couple of years now.
didn't mean it to have a Carl Tompson vibe, but considering he is the daddy of bass building, I'll certainly take that a complement.

I must admit I'm not too much of a fender fan (althought I did have a fender 5 deluxe jazz and it was wicked) I love that bound neck fretless fender jazz, so old school it's great!

Hey thanks, but its mainly becouse of the basses.

Nop, its just a plain guitar, i think it was a sratocaster or something similar.

That is one of the most beautifull fretless i have seen. Just by the looks it seems to play like butter. Do you have some soundclips of the bass.
