fretless

I'm no slouch at doing setups but have a q about my new a '96 Fortress Fretless 5'er. I've got the neck and nut dialed in but the bridge is bottomed out and I think she'd go lower. It's like Warwick omitted the frets; added a ebony board and called this design done...w/out consideration for...

Does anybody know if the necks on all Rockbasses are interchangeable? I ask because I'm looking into buying a RB Vampyre 5 and after listening to some Steve DiGiorgio, I wanted to get a fretless. I know that fretless necks aren't offered with the Vampyres, so I was thinking if they're...

Hi! I am the guy who have posted today a thread about a streamer... so I've gone to the shop and now he's in my hands! Thanks to all for all the comments. I realized that this it's an original '92 streamer, without any hardware modification. Sounds and looks very sexy! Here's the pics I've...

Hi all! I own a Thumb NT6 '90 and I'm very happy with it but I'm searching for a fretless... I'd like to try some basses, with the starting point of a fender standard jazzbass fretless, which I'd like to buy (it would be about 550 euro) but I called a shop where they told me they have a...

Hello to everybody on the forum. This is my first post here. I have recently bought a rockbass corvette five string fretless, and I am trying to set the intonation. I am having problems with the the octave dot marker. It has two dots. Wich marks the octave the first (looking from the hedstock...

I would assume it's mostly achieved by playing near the bridge, but how would you EQ it? I also know fretless is a whole different monster, would most of the tone be attributed to style (playing it like a fretless rather than like a fretted)?

I'm newish to bass (let's call it a year) though I've been into guitars for years. I've really enjoyed my introduction into the world of the low-end and I'm keen to play more. (I'm currently playing in a regular rehearsal/jam night blues band plus other bits and pieces and, while I'm no natural...

Hello, I'm new to the forum and glad to know there is one I can access. I have what may be a dilemma from what I've read on here about guys with broken necks.... Can I just straight up buy a fretted Corvette neck or does Warwick require a neck in trade?? I wanna be able to switch out...

Hello again ...I was wondering which would make for a better sound as far as sustain and attack are concerned? Ebony or wenge? And does the Thumb BO suffer in tone due to a 2 band EQ?

Yes, i did it, swapped my Streamer Jazzman for a Streamer Stage I fretless build in '93. my first impression: finally a real fretless!! pics coming soon.

Hey guys Im lookin for a Fretless Vamp. Does anyone have one/ have sound clips/ knows how they compare to other fretless instruments? Any help is welcome! Thanks

This isn't me, it's just something I stumbled upon on youtube and thought it gives a nice idea of these basses... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5CWkClh0upw&feature=related https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9kteTTR0RBo&feature=related

I found another warwick used. its an 02 corvette std fretless. not sure of the wood. both the body and neck appear to be the same maybe. both are a dark tan color. its fairly heavy also. anyway price is $500, its in top shape and I have played it alot in the store. the neck is dead straight...

Just got a new fretless! It's a cheap stagg for my first fretless experience. It's great fun playing and will be like starting to learn all over again. Has anyone got any first time fretless tips? (other than the obvious eg. work on intonation) Also has anyone got any eq advice for...

Would a fretless Alien have to be made in the Custom Shop? Or is it a standard option? Is a 5 string Alien possible? I've kinda been GASing for a fretless 5 string acoustic....man that would be sweet.

first part electric, second part piezo; enjoy! sorry for the radio quality :lol:

i paid a visit to a local luthier here and hung out. he is an old friend. while chatting i happen to glance at something really weird which turn out to be a fretless (lined) warwick neck with ebony board and wenge errr neck!!!!!!....... i suspect a thumb bo 4 string was its original body it...

Whilst attempting to read some family law, I stumbled across this on youtube... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AqeF1wYBSQY I was initially searching for Steve Swallow (yes! It is funny!) so here one with him, Scofield and Stewart https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZYqRIAnlD7k
