The Fretless Club

Hi achtung jackass.

Glad that you liked it. That is a straight from
Allparts catalogue “Part# PG 0755-010”, it's a bit pricey,
but nothing is too good for my dearest ($150+shipment).

*calls 999 for ambulance*




Damn thats pricey. I'll keep it in mind though. At least it's made out of metal. Most chrome pickguards I've seen were plastic coated and they looked terrible.

my fretless sx jazz should be here anyday (just starting fretless), im super excited

 

[rhs1856]

Ooh-ooh! Count me two! My first fretless was a late-70s Frankenbass, mostly Fender - a Precision body w/a Jazz pup added and a defretted Jazz (fretlines filled w/black epoxy) neck. Eventually the neck succumbed and could no longer maintain decent posture, so the bass got an MM fretless precision neck - which I hate. 2 years ago I bought a 4-string ('88) Buzz and last month got a ('94) Pentabuzz, my first 5-string. I uploaded some crummy pics in the Pedulla thread (my ears are way better than my eyes): http://www.talkbass.com/forum/showthread.php?t=400567&highlight=pedulla

130. Honorary membership to Floyd the Muppet. His J-bass is fretted, but he gets plenty of mwah with those plush fingers.

andvari7 - thanks for the pictures. You got #44.

Lots of good basses

I just got it on saturday...

 

[Vinny D]

Here is my G&L SB-2, it is about 1 1/2 years old and the build and finish are amazing. The SB-2's are my favorite playing 4-string basses I have ever owned and this one certainly has not let me down.

This is one of the first SB-2's that where made with the new 6-bolt neck design, it seems to have a bit better sustain then my other SB-2's that I have.
The only *Con* I have about this bass is that I wish I could spend more time playing it so I could get better at my fretless playing

But I may actually take it to my gig this weekend for the first time

The Muppet archetypes were SO accurate! Animal - who hasn't played with an out-of-control drummer? - got more attention than he deserved; Zoot was just too cool for his own good. Floyd, despite his stoner appearance and laconic speech, was always the most level-headed, and his (bass) lines were perfectly authentic no matter what genre they undertook; he's one of my heroes. I thank you, kind sir, on behalf of myself AND Floyd.

131. Mark Reccord - Proof that Leo's second company was better than his first.
132. Vinny D - Proof that Leo's final effort was his best.
133. lambro - nice Wal.

I wouldn't kick any of those out of bed, or out my music room.

The Muppet archetypes were SO accurate!...

True that. You're welcome, Floyd is welcome.

My Dolphin .........

 

[saxofunk]

mero - sincere apologies. I have you on the spreadsheet at #125, apparently I missed you in the copy & paste process. And yes, there is love. Love is what brings it all together.

Let's see if I can keep up with the rest:
Chili Bo Billy is already in at #123, I appreciate the photo evidence.

[saxofunk]

Oops. Time came to refine the spreadsheet, er, learn how to use Excel.

BassOverflow got number 79 and 83.
jdombrow got 41 and 58.
kevin_lindsay got 32 and 115.
lambro got 20 and 133.

I'm not going to relist the whole deal today, but I'll be re-assigning 83, 58, 115, and 133 to the next members.

My Dolphin .........

That's a nice bass I'd love a fretless Dolphin myself, not sure I'd get away with it in a blues band though

 

[jtallent]

I'm a relative newbie to the fretless world. Here's my proof ... my first fretless about 3 months old, 2007, Warwick, Streamer Jazzman.
