fretless

Hi! I am looking for a new fretless 5-string. I am playing mainly rock and metal. Right now I have a Corvette Std5 Ash but I think the tone is too mellow for the style. And I am thinking that a harder bodywood would be the trick... So which bodywood do you prefer for a fretless bass? I...

Just out of curiosity; how many of us here on the forum have gone to the fretless side? I know there's alot of people here with multiple Warwicks to include fretless, but how many here are fretless only players? I can't be the only one, can I? :cry:

Check it out! I spotted some rare and nice fretless Wicks on the german bay! Good prices too guys! If i was living in Europe id be all over that 5 string maple Thumb Bo! :shock:

I just bought a new Corvette fretless (4-string), and I am curious as to the strings that it came with. Can anyone fill me on this? And what gauges they are? Thanks in advance.

So, like a few others here in the forum, I'm thinking that I need a fretless NT for my next bass. I've fallen in love with the sound of a Thumb NT thanks to www.jeroenthesseling.com and the looks of them thanks to Moobass, so a Thumb 5 NT fretless is definitely on my short list. I've...

ok here we go, my first CS idea a NT thumb 6 string fretless -macassar ebony body -wenge neck -ebony fingerboard -black hardware -the Cross inlay at the 12th fret area -blue LED W on headstock and neck -natural finish -bartolini soapbar pickups it might not be heaps CSed out but...

he there guys i was wondering (especially moobass, i really want to hear that thumb) if anyone could post some fretless clips? im very interested in the fretless area thank you heaps in advance!

Wondering if anyone else here has ever done a fretless mod? I'm currently working on my second (Not the Warwick!) I'm working on a MIM Fender Jazz V (Deluxe) I'm doing this one a bit different than my first, The same beginning as usual though, Tape off the fretboard, yank out the frets...

That is more twisted than any of my creations because it's real!!! Phil Wilson, you are one lucky dude! :twisted: :twisted: :twisted:

I lack the ability to try either of these models out myself, so I have to rely on the experience of everyone else. And since I've never done one here, I figured I'd make a poll out of this too just for the hell of it. I'd like to purchase a 5 string fretless some time in late 2008 but I am...

Here's the situation -- I just received an '88 streamer fretless. Sounds great. But, despite lowering the bridge, the saddles, the JAN1 screws, and adjusting the truss, the action is still high. We even pulled the truss rod, checked it, lubed it (yeah, my rod is lubed, dude), and put it back...

Hi all, I'm looking to add to my Warwick collection, and I'm looking for some opions. I'm intersted in purchasing a fretless bass, and I was curious about your expriences with them. I'm most interested in how difficult you find it to switch between your standard bass and a fretless. Any...

Holy shit I want this thing...

How much do you guys think it should worth in U.S. ? Also, would being fretless or the second battary door means this is a CS? Thanks.

Hello all! I'm thinking about getting a new Fortress 5 fretless but there is no dealer around here that has one stock for me to try out. Is there some of you who own/tried one of those? How is the feel and the tone? How is the quality of the ebony? Is it all black or lightly/heavily figured...

I just completed a new song called Caravan. It's got a very Japanese zen kinda vibe to it and it's a little more mellow than my other tunes. Please have a listen and let me know what you guys think. :D I recorded the track using my Vette STD fretless, EBS Microbass II, and my MacBook Pro...

I'm always looking ... someday, every bass I've been looking for will come available at once -- and I'll be screwed. Anyway, looking for a vintage (1980's) fretless Thumb, 4's or 5's, unlined. Anyone out there got one they aren't playing?

I am looking for one of these and I heard that Warwick does not make fretless corvettes in bubinga passive in 5 string versons :shock: .Is this true? anybody?

I just played a Thumb Dirty Blonde today that had the frets removed by famed luthier Richard Beck. It has lines where the frets once were, but the mwah and growl were so incredible! The wood on the body is also something special: it has birdseyes at the top and bottom, but in the middle, it has...

I've been playing bass for a good while now and am interested in buying a fretless. Here's the thing, I am an avid slap bass player and I want a fretless that can still bring the funk/slap when needed. I played a Corvette Standard fretless and it seemed rather lifeless. Is the Thumb BO worth...
