fretless

How do sound a Fortress Fretless? Im thinking in change a fretted one into fretless in a good luthier. Can i keep original mec pickups and electronics? Can this work? (sounds good?) :) Its a 95 5 Str, nivana black. Thanks

All you Thumb players out there...How about a heads up on what I might expect from this beast? I ordered a Custom Shop Warwick with the following options; Signed by Hans Peter Wilfer Thumb B.O. 5 String Left Handed Fretless Unlined Ebony Fretboard Figured/Flamed Body MEC JJ Active P/U...

I have always wanted a vintage Streamer Stage 1 fretless 6 string but have never really seen any for sale. I used to own a fretted 4 string and I loved the tone and feel of the bass. If you have ever had one please let me know your thoughts and opinions. Pics would be nice too. Cheers, Wes

Wondering if anyone else strings theyre bass up piccolo? I just ordered some strings to do so, While I was at it I went a bit nuts and ordered a EH Dr. Q envelope filter. I had one awhile back and it was pretty fun, But I returned it shortly after due to money trouble. But I figure now that I...

I don't know if this has been asked yet, But does anyone know if Warwick will do a fretless with something other than ebony? Say maybe wenge or even purpleheart? It would be pretty nice if they would offer other woods for the board and apply an epoxy finish themselves, seeing how it's not...

Hi, I'm new here I have a fretted 4 $$, that is very nice. I use it mainly for blues (GK rig). I also play jazz using a Fender Jazz 4, and I am interested to see what the fretless $$ is like. They seem very rare - none here in Melbourne, none in Berlin where I was a few days ago. So I have not...

` I bought a bass from Nathan Adams [username vpshockwave]. First of all, he's great to deal with. Fast, and no problems. I know .... a bass without pix is just my imagination. So pix are below. I don't have a camera, so those are Nathan's pix. It's a Corvette Standard, but it's...

Holy crap. Just browsing ebay and I come up this: This thing looks HUGE! It's like a tree trunk! I've never seen a neck that big before, except on some massive custom crazy basses.

Firstly, I must say I think it was a terrible mistake selling my recently acquired Afzelia CS Fretless Corvette! So much so that I've just sold all of my archery gear to pay for another one! :D I'm currently deciding whether I will buy a Bubinga Standard Corvette Fretless, or order...

I've owned this FNA Jazzman for a fair while: It's a very beautiful bass in mint condition as you can see. Now I consider myself pretty good at setting up normal basses, neck relief, action, intonation etc. but I've always struggled with fretless basses for some reason. Oh I can get it...

Can anyone comment on the sound and feel of the Corvette $$ fretless vs. a standard Corvette fretless? I know the electronics and body and neck materials are different, but really want to know how the sound and feel compares to standard Corvette fretless. Thanks!

I've been really wanting a fretless, and not having enough spare cash to warrant a german one, I'm thinking about a Streamer LX fretless 4, in vintage white. Has anyone got a white rockbass fretless (any model)? love to see some pics!

I've recently yanked out the frets of a new old crappy neck (Maple/maple and it was straight :D ) Of the brand "Cimar". I've seen four Cimars in my entire life. Three at my (now old!) school and one in this music video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GFGzGfym-7Y Anyway, here are the before...

Hi, I just recently won a Thumb NT 4 Fretless from this giveaway, signed and played by the man himself... Jack Bruce Yes, I'm in shock :shock: :D I have a post with photos here... Are all the Thumb NT's from the Custom Shop? Kind of interesting that the warranty...

I've just picked up a Stage I fretless that is equipped with Bartolinis and a 3 band EQ. The layout of the controls is unusual in that the stacked pot that is where a traditional Stage I pan pot would be is actually the vol & pan controls. Not the most intuitive position when you are used to...

Hey Guys, I just picked up my first Warwick- a fretless, neck through 1986 Streamer. The bass appears to be unfinished (although it could be a very light satin finish (polyurethane?). The body wood looks like cherry and the fretboard looks to be ebony. Although the bass is in excellent...

I'm thinking about getting a fretless warwick (bubinga corvette perhaps). Do the strings eat the fingerboard up? I've had a couple of self-defretted basses, but each time I covered fingerboards with hard laquer. What about the tigerstripe ebony boards? Do they need any protective layer? I use...

anyone care to share any fretless rockbasses whether it be your own or not?

Hi, I've got a chance to buy a 1993 Warwick streamer Stage I. But a) the trussrod was replaced with a carbon one and b) the fretboard was replaced with a fretless Ebony fretboard. In my eyes this bass is just gorgeous. But I'm having serious doubts weather these changes would make this bass...

Just decided I need an Infinity after seeing Norwood Fisher last night, then when I'm looking for prices I come across this. Decisions decisions!!!
