Umm, no. Never had the slightest interest in a fretless-I gots enuff problems hitting the right notes with frets.

I played double bass so was open to fret-less from early on (for me) .

LaBella Deep Talkin' Flats -

I like the ones on my Epi EB-0 'cept the E was damn near dead outta the package. Replaced it with a well-worn EBCF E offa the TBird*. Much gooder.

*since I only have one I don't hafta specify which TBird

Well, I came to bass from playing sax-and they're fretless.

exactly - same story ... once I was "ok" - onward and upward!

If you got a strawberry on your knee you rubbed dirt in it and kept on playing! Same as the gig. Ha!

Cartridges.

From a parody of "Twelve Days...": "And with a single cartridge, I shot that lousy partridge".

Stumbled across this video of Tesla covering Aerosmith's S.O.S. (Too Bad). Brian Wheat is playing a NR that kind of looks like the neck pickup is not stock? Could just be my eyes as well.

Not to Brits. They don't like it. That's OK-more Reese's for us.

I find the combination meh though I really like them apart. Sharon loves the flavors together. Reese’s are one of her faves.

 

[Miles_ONeal]

That's relative... (as you know) I really can't say that my '64 II sounds better now... (than whenever) ...I can only say that it sounds awesome...

The red NR sounds better - hence it costs more.

Yeah-that's the message I was trying to convey. I sorta f---ed* it up somehow. That's a specialty of mine.

Great high energy version. You caught it…that NR has a black pickup. I’m also drooling over that walnut SG!

Rosa likes them with coffee……talk about bean attack…

They go good with a darker beer too.

The thing about Reese’s is the chocolate makes you feel bad but the PB makes you feel like you're eating healthy…

TB+ are black too….mounting screws (unlike the ones in your pic) are like on all other Bird pups however…..

Yeah-that's the ticket!

A red Greco NR bass sounding better is a scientifical, engineeringcal, acoustically proven fact that has been proven for hundreds of centuries…adding to its worth in modern society!
BTW…I dig your red Greco!
