Great bass man.

Feet are better yes....

:naughty:

popinfresh 07-14-2005 03:13 AM

I didn't really see a need to single out a warwick, lol, they get enough bashing :p

Nice score, not a fan of the sound though, IMO it's lifeless.

But if your happy, that's all that matters ;)

TheIdiotBox 07-14-2005 03:40 AM

Great buy man, have fun with it :thumb:

Jaco 07-14-2005 04:05 AM

Congrats, my man!!


I'm really happy you're so happy with your new purchase. I'm sure you'll do it justice!!


I expect a few Steve Bailey tunes on my desk by the end of today.




Kind regards



Mike

Congrats man. Great buy. i was never to fond of six strings but still that looks awsome, enjoy it!

Visti 07-14-2005 04:26 AM

Are these only available in the US?

It seems like a d[COLOR=Black]amn[/COLOR] good buy, but I live in Denmark, so..

Wintermute 07-14-2005 04:41 AM

For that price, I'd have snapped it up in a heartbeat. Good for you!

Would you mind if I copied this thread into the gear reviews section?

Chris K 07-14-2005 04:56 AM

I wouldnt mind a Fretless 6 to mess around on, Maybes I'll convince Chris K to sell his Vintage 4 string and somehow get a Brice :evil:


EDIT: This post was made by Esp Griffyn, apparently Chris K forgot to log out...

RideTheTiger 07-14-2005 05:07 AM

:D What a beauty! That's how a bass should look!

I had the exact same thoughts when I read the review. Would make a great addition to the hardware section.

Thunder Fingers 07-14-2005 06:18 AM

thats the only 6 string im gonna get(and thats becouse its fretless... then it can sit in a corner and be used more than i would use a fretless 4 or a standard 6 string...) or maby i should go acustic fretless...:p

I do believe you guys have a similar company called 'vintage basses' i think WM has one.

sheephead 07-14-2005 06:45 AM

They don't do six string fretlesses, though :p

acexxxoasis 07-14-2005 06:57 AM

Im not an ERB so I got tired of my 6 but they are great and if you do get tired of it you can always sell it for like more then you paid like me lol

Naveed Afzal 07-14-2005 07:01 AM

I want a bass with 48 Frets..

Visti 07-14-2005 07:15 AM

[QUOTE=Naveed Afzal]I do believe you guys have a similar company called 'vintage basses' i think WM has one.[/QUOTE]

Really? Then I'm gonna have to look into that. Thanks!

Edit: Arh, while they also seem to have a good bang to buck ratio, they don't make sixstrings. Shame.

[QUOTE=Naveed Afzal]I want a bass with 48 Frets..[/QUOTE]

If you got a 36" scale bass with a Lightwave pickup, I think you could fit 48 frets in there.

Chris K, Machines of hate and Wintermute all have the same model of Vintage 4 string fretless bass, with active electronics and a Bubinga body.

Naveed Afzal 07-14-2005 08:35 AM

Jamie_dunce is thinking of getting one too, after playing WM's. :thumb:

mastrrbasser 07-14-2005 10:12 AM

the wooten song is the vision

and the primus song is tommy the cat.


good playing, i liked teen town. Sounds great, have fun with it.

Foxfire 07-14-2005 10:37 AM

Hey guys,

The song that people seem to have trouble identifying is Sex in a Pan, by Bela Fleck and the Flecktones. Or, I think that's the one? I play it at around 2:42. The other two Wooten tunes I played were Overjoyed and the beginning of Classical Thump (Some hate slapping on a fretless, I thought it'd get a funny response :p)

Alex: Feel free to move it. ;) I just put it here because I know people are interested in this bass and I don't know how many go to the reviews section.

Jaco: I [i]should[/i] probably learn some Bailey tunes, huh?

People wondering why I singled out the Corvette: Only other fretless I've played. :p Apparently, it turned out to be a rather good fretless, and according to lots of people, one of the best on the market that's not custom...I thought I'd throw it in there as (A) a comparison and (B) to piss some off. :p

nisakss 07-14-2005 10:45 AM

Congrats Fox, nice looking bass, and I really like its tone in the recordings.

led_zeppelin5022 07-14-2005 10:50 AM

nice bass man. and i was wondering if i could do all those false harmonics on a freted 6er i can do them now on my 4 string but there not coming out very clean is it easier on a fretless.and would dream theater stuff sound any good on a frettles? thanks

[QUOTE=Low_End_Communications]If you got a 36" scale bass with a Lightwave pickup, I think you could fit 48 frets in there.[/QUOTE]

You could fit 48 frets on any scale, because they are fractions and fractions can get infinitely smaller.

With 48 frets on a 36" scale, you would only have about 2.25" for a pickup. But if you used a lightwave, then you have a 2.25" gap.

With those specs, the distance between the 47th and 48th fret would only be about one tenth of an inch. Now we are talking fret spacing like a mandolin.

Foxfire 07-14-2005 01:02 PM

[QUOTE=nisakss]Congrats Fox, nice looking bass, and I really like its tone in the recordings.[/QUOTE]

Thanks, I've really enjoyed playing it.

It's making me wonder why I didn't get a fretless bass before. :p

I originally planned to change out some of the hardware and polyurethane the fretboard, but I've scrapped that idea.

sanray 07-14-2005 02:28 PM

yeah I got a dean fretless 5stringer and fretless5s are the best

[QUOTE=Foxfire]Jaco: I [i]should[/i] probably learn some Bailey tunes, huh?

[/QUOTE]
