Ahhhh I found a buyer for my Gecko body which sucks but is necessary at the same time. So that will be gone right away which should pull me out of debt, then in a few weeks I start a new job which means I can start planning for a new bass, as I need a fretless.
I don't really have any sort of set idea in my head of tone I am after, I just want a great, classic, growl-y fretless tone.
If you were to build yourself a fretless bass, what would you go for?
I am thinking a walnut body (no finish, just tung oil), a wenge/ebony neck (again...of course no finish), with Nordstrand Big Splits in there and no preamp, just vol/balance/tone/tone
I think this will give me a fretless J-ish tone, but with a lot more midrange chunk to it which I think I would like.
Your thoughts?
