The Fretless Club

[ninefingerbass]

My '08 custom 6 string fretless bass. Her name is Coco and she plays like a dream.

 

[kesslari]

That Coco is a sweet looking instrument, bro

I forgot to post when I got my Michael Kelly...
But now, here's Oolong, my new Ibanez GWB-1. She's a singer, for sure.

This is really good looking bass,I think it sounds amazing! I have GWB-35 as a second fretless (my main is custom ES 6) so I can guess the sound of this monster !

ninefingerbass already in at #57... we like Coco!

209. kesslari. There's already have a kesslar at #37... you're not the same dude, are you?

 

[kesslari]

Ah, yeah, that's me. I didn't know I got a number, since I didn't remember to post when I got the MK. So I'll keep 37 and drop 209, and in return you can spell my username correctly as "kesslari"
Thanks

I already have a number, but here is my brand new Pedulla Hexabuzz. It's Peacock Blue with 19mm spacing, no lines and Bart Soapbars. Amazing flame and a buttery, singing tone round off the package. Truly my dream bass.

Time goes sooo fast some days...

206. lamonica78. Sorry, no membership for Tony The Tiger. He's grrrrreat and all that, but he doesn't play bass.

Hahaha, I wish that Tony the Tiger was part of the deal when I bought this bass. The pics were taken by the former owner and sadly he would not part with Tony!

kesslari - Deal!

steve - sweet bass. 19mm on a 6er?
lamonica78 - oh. Too bad about Tony. I didn't get a camouflage fleece with my SB-2 either. D*** eBay sellers!

 

[ka0ttic]

Just acquired my first fretless from a fellow tb'er... don't have a decent camera but here is a pic he took:

I'm not liking the tone so far, but I think that's more of a string issue than anything else... Other than that, I love playing it. Will definitely take a little getting used to, but it seems a lot faster than my fretted.

Yeah, and I didn't get the rack of gear behind the GWB. grumble grumble...

209. ka0ttic. Good luck on the quest for strings. Mind the rabbit at the cave, he's got teeth like this! (holds two fingers in front of mouth to simulate huge fangs)

 

[datsgora]

I just picked up a CB with a poly coated FB, so I have a good idea of what tones you're getting.

I already have a number, just adding another bass. I had the FB buffed to more of a matte finish and the f-hole is fake. I guess I wanted to throw people off when they looked at my bass and heard it.

 

[mjolnir]

My only fretless, a 'Wick I got off a fellow TBer:

 

[bassjigga]

Took some pics... don't think I posted these yet.

Heh, trade ya.

The top horn scroll (done on both sides in case any one was wondering) is really neat to see and feel. The lower bout is also very comortable on the leg, especially mixed with the light weight.
