I feel like I've posted this in every 'show your fretless' thread now but, nevertheless, here's the last pic I took of these 3 before I traded the GWB35.

What on earth is going on with that G string? And the bridge angle?

 

[GreyBeard]

It's "used to", not "use to".

From Merriam-Webster website.

"Used to refers to something familiar or routine, as in "I'm used to getting up early for work," or to say that something repeatedly happened in the past like "we used to go out more." Use to typically occurs with did; "did you use to work there?" or "it didn't use to be like that," describing something in the past that doesn't happen anymore."

Well, cut my grade

I've owned several fretless basses over the years, but my Sandberg is my absolute all time favorite. There are so many great fretless players, but Pino's fretless work remains a touchstone for me. I keep coming back to it time and again, year after year.

Something old, something new. There's an East preamp under the hood.

Matching headstock Wine red 70s jazz? I didn’t know Fender made those.

Used to have this fantastic Roscoe 5 fretless. Recorded great.

My Sire V7 and a NS WAV 4. Love them both.

I would finger every one of these incredible machines relentlessly,probably a little drool too. My apologies

1979 Jazz with 1989 Warmoth neck. I would play this bass exclusively but it's WAY too heavy.



Marty Bell refin in 1998

There are a lot of really nice fretless basses here. Some have a lot in these pictures and I wonder if the reason is that all they play is fretless?

Have some of you gone completely fretless?

I played a pbass fretless exclusively until I entered what I like to call my "slap happy" period. I also have to sing in most of the bands I'm in so I don't get to play fretless as much as I would like to

...Talking to Rick from Beardly about a 6, and I really think I'm gonna tell him I want fretless on that, too.

Do it!

I love my fretless Beardly.
