Here's the fb extending beyond the neck. Not uncommon on uprights. What do you think?

I probably have more fretless than I need, but I love playing fretless.

I think I only ever ended up paying 450 for this, the seller didn't really put much thought into it.
Bubinga body with a tigerstripe/massacar/idontknowthename ebony fretboard, and its HEAVY.

The forum rotated the pictures but whatever!

Never seen it either, it's original, and I got it used for 250€ here in BE. Added the EMG preamp.

Its been a few months but dragged this out tonight. Might have a good play with it tomorrow.

Had a six once, with 19mm spacing ... neck like an aircraft carrier. All that huge neck wood really resonated ! But got tired of reaching over the C-string ... there were no notes on it that I cared about :-( Even tried detuning an extra D-string to use as a deeper C. Made me crazy.

If I ever get that crazy again I’ll get a seven, so I can leave out the 2nd, 4th, and 6th strings and string it EADG !
