So now I’m thinking of a joker 6 fretless 30”. Wondering those that have one is there neck dive on the hollow body. How is it compared to a Cazpar? The Cazpar just feel like home. Nothing worse than paying big bucks for a bass that just isn’t the one.
Those with a fretless what electronics did you go with?
Thanks

View attachment 7092450Here’s one of my Cazpar’s I added a pick guard and some Aguilar pick ups. This one started me down the rabbit hole of Cazpar basses

The PG is very clever, it looks great.

I bought it on a whim because I was curious about these basses never heard of them. The color was not what I was into but picked it up for 9 ish. I’ve Had it for some time now. Once I learned how to play the 30” scale I can’t go back.

Well, I placed my order last week for a Joker B 6.

Wow, this is a great pickguard design for the Cazpar!

It does look pretty cool with that pickguard!

Man, I just realized you don’t have a 32” headless 5. Luckily there’s one in the classifieds that would look stunning next to those other Cazpar’s

Anyone with a joker in the Los Angeles area really would love to check it out

Hey fretless guys what electronics and pick up did you end up going with.

I have Delano SBC HE-S pickups with series/single coil/parallel switches with the Lusithand Double NFP preamp on my fretless Jake 5. I think it sounds great. Lusithand recently came out with a mk2 of their NFP preamps with a different frequency range (new version tops out at 2.5KHz while the old version tops out at 4KHz) and a treble boost (aka "pick attack") that seems pretty useful.

I have a passive Frog 5 fretless with a single Bassculture 38hb in the bridge and a mini switch (humbucker / single coil). I like the simplicity and dig the tones.

I do love the simplicity of a passive bass my Cazpar 6 is a passive as well with the mini switch and its sound great. Not a fan of batteries I always forget to unplug my bass but was wondering I might get more out of the fretless with active pu

I have a Joker in LA - it’s a fretted 4 string 32” scale though. You’re welcome to come take a look if you’d like.

Is that what the configurator looks like now? I'll have to play around with it a bit.

VERY nice mash-up!

So I ordered a 6 string fretless Cazpar with 2 bassculture humbucker and the in house pre amp. I’m more of a passive guy but let’s see how she sounds
