Aw... you rat. That's the exact fretless P I want. Color, everything.

What strings do you use on her?

At that time, it had nylon wrapped Rotosounds. It now has Bass Boomers.

Hi all.

Well I didn’t get all of the things I ordered.
At least some pics of the new picgard mounted.
Is that enough to satisfied your curiosity?

WOW, that looks awesome. Ive just modded my Black MIM J with a metalic gray scratchplate, but that metal one is so much better.

(can I have a number please )

edit: Does playin with the metal scratch plate alter the tone at all??

Can I join now? I just got a fretless after a long break. Played it at church last night to good review.

Hi Jobiebass.

So far I haven’t notes any major deferens in the sound, it still sounds great
and looks great. The only thing is the fingerprints that seems to appear from
no ware.

Jobiebass, a number? For what? Quoting someone else's post with pictures? You have to bring your own pictures, then you get to keep #159.

ill take some pictures tonight if I make it home.
wanna take some pics of my stingray anyways and my project bass (which im making fretless too)

might steal your metal scratch plate idea for my project if you dont mind. think it may look nice on a p-bass, might even get it engraved with something, hummmm..

Each one has it's own distinctive fretless voice!

Curses. I just bought my first fretless two weekends ago and love it, but now I already know what my eventual upgrade is going to look like. And me having sold off my black Jazz body just yesterday...

 

[aikakone]

Wow. I still love that bass of Hans's. That metal pick guard gives it such style.

 

[madbassist666]

wow, that pickguard is beast where did you get it!?

1978

That's awesome, almost picked up it's twin a few years ago in NC. I've got a 1978 fretless rosewood neck and burst finish with tort guard that is the mirror image of that. If I ever find one like yours again I'll be picking it up, maple unlined fretless is so nice.

I play a 2007 USA Fender Jazz Deluxe 4-string fretless black w/gold pickguard. Love it!

 

[Jobiebass]

sorry for the crappy pic, and the fact my scratchplate is still drying after a respray.
