fretless

Hi all! I am Stanley from India. I have been playing fretted bass for a few months now. I really love the smooth sound of Sting on fretless bass. So, I thought I should try learning to play fretless too. Heard about the goodness of the Warwick sound and also about the RockBass line which...

Hi sorry if this is not the most appropiated forum to post this but... ... I'm gonna buy a 5 string fretless Rockbass, and: 1:Will I find FLAT strings in sets of 5? 2: Wich ones do you use for your fretless warwick/rockbass ... FLAT or ROUND? 3: If you can tell me wich model to buy...

I am considering getting a Katana NT 5 Fretless and I have a few questions. How durable are maple fretboards? Would it not erode much with flatwound strings and how does it compare with the ebony? They sure do look nice. = )

I'm considering to swap my stock passive MEC J-bass pups on my fretless Vette. The sound I would like to achieve is the sound that Percy Jones (BrandX) produces on his WAL pro bass. Do the humbucking J-bass pups by Bartolini, EMG or Delano come anywhere near the unique warm, tuba like tone of a...

should the fingerboard of the fretless cvtt std be waxed as well as the body? thnks

I am going to a wrist specialist tomorow to get checked for tendonitis in my forearms/wrists. There is definitely something wrong here. Is playing a fretless easier on the hands/arms? I didn't damage my arms playing bass, but playing makes my fretting arm flare up pretty bad. I'm wondering if a...

Hi, which wood is used for the fingerboard in the streamer stage one 5 strings? thanks

I am a Warwick dealer in the US, and today I got our first Thumb neck-thru fretless. I couldn't believe how much slimmer the neck profile is! I have a current fretted version in stock that has the thick D profile, but this fretless has more of a jazz bass profile (not quite as thin) that has...

The Warwick owner manual suggests to match the armonic and the true note at the 12th fret. Obviously things change on a fretless bass on witch I've made to match the armonic at the 12th dot mark with a slightly left pressed note. The lower strings saddles are quite tights but I think I'm in...

is there a any good reasons to have active pickups on a fretless warwick? how do i tell if a warwick corvette has passive or active pickups? :?:

My search for a Stage II Fretless V is getting very frustrating, not a single one for sale that I can find (unless we count the new one at SC Salford that I can't afford ;) ) So I'm wondering if it would be possible for my luthier to convert a fretted one to fretless. Has anyone else had this...

Hi everybody. I`m a Jazzer and love the sound of my fretless Fortress One that I got eight years ago. However, I would definitely like to have these two extra strings! Since there is no shop in my vicinity that has, like, ten or twenty fretless sixstrings hanging from the wall ;) I would...

I'm thinking about ordering a Corvette $$ 4 string lined fretless bass. What I'm thinking about is.. I want to make it alittle special so I was thinking about adding a Exotic top Wood.. BUT??? What WOOD should I add? Was thinking about a Walnut top.. Sounds good??? What's your opinon??

Ok, so this might seem really dumb, and I think I already know the answer, but I just want to be sure. I was recently at a guitar store and I was playing the Warwicks they had in stock (particularly the Corvette Jazzman 5 string). I then decided to try a fretless Corvette. I have never...

are rockbasses available in fretless...im looking at the fotress. i love warwick but i wont use a fretless too much so it doesnt make sense to dish out alot of money for one.

Any suggestion for a five strings fretless Thumb? I've tried the superb Dogal flatwounds with gauges 45-60-80-105-130, but that low B won't fit properly, it always seems too long for the bass. :-(

It's in excellent condition and comes with a hard warwick case. I bought it new and is in excellent condition with expect play wear on it. US Dollars, what do you think it's worth now? I remember paying over $1700 new.

Hi every one, I'm new on fretless board and wonder what kind of string ( roundwood or flat ) do you use on your fretless ? What are the difference in term of sound , and care of the fingerboard? Thank you all. Here is a pict of my 2 main axes.

Thumb NT vs BO for fretless....I have the six string fretless models thumb BO that you see in my profile pic. I have loved playing on it for 2 years now, and I am thinking of trading it in for the NT model. I just like the look of the NT's different woods. My Warwick collection is getting a...

Will custom make a Fretless Corvette FNA Jazzman? Can I order one through Bass Central or only available through Warwick ?
