My '79 Kramer DMZ4000 FL.

And she's all fixed now! When I posted in the last thread I was having issues with the sound cutting out. Turns out the pots that I just had replaced were just loose and it was causing the wiring to move lose connection. So the guy that did the work in the first place tightened everything up checked the solder joints and she's good as new!

I'm glad it worked out for you! Now :bassist::bassist::bassist:
 
Please to provide some thoughts on it when it comes in...
I was micrometers from pulling the trigger on that exact bass.
Congrats on a looker! :hyper:

Now, if she plays and sounds as nice as she looks, I'll be looking for the next from those guys. :bassist:

Thanks, in advance for the reviews. :cool:
Thanks! I certainly will.. Here's a video of a bass with the exact specs; ebony board, spalt maple on ash and Bart pups..

 
Just putting a general inquiry out there of how many of you fretless guys play in larger bands...or play as a solo gig...I truly enjoy playing fretless yet dont play in live band situations...as I need to practice more...intonation is off!!... Also, I have walked into a few gigs and everybody looks at you when you pull out a fretless!..this is just not my experience either...

My main bass is a PentaBuzz and sometimes I bring my NS CR-4T and for variety I may use my Tacoma Fretless 5 Thunder Chief or even my MIJ Fender Jazz 4. I play usually in a Worship Band that is paired down to 2 guitars, 1 singer, drums/ percussion and sometimes keys that, at one time, had 2 more singers, another guitar and full-time percussion. Do I need to get some frets or what?
