Dude, Slow down!!! You're making the rest of us look bad!!!

Haha Zandit. This has been over the past month. Just finally got around to posting them.

Looks like a fretless. If you have never used or owned one they are lots of fun to play. Just takes a while to get the finger positioning in the sweet spot that is not out slightly of tune.

Yes Waz, it is. I own a few. The sweet spot i figured out to suit my fingers is that the left side of my finger is in line with the end of the dot on top of the fretboard of the note i am playing. I have a clip on tuner, so i keep checking, and thats the best way for me to remember the finger position.

If you are good at playing by ear that kicks in after a while as the dots only represent points along the neck and not every fret position. On my current Fretless I ripped out the frets and used filler so that I had lines to show where fingers should be when playing notes as that made things easier for me.

Agreed Waz. There is a new Thunderbird bass kit by Pitbull where there are 3 different types of necks.
1...Fretless
2...Frets
3...Lines without frets.
It is the TLB-4 and TBJ-5.

Yeah, I spotted them too.

Lack of spare funds holding me back ATM plus plenty of guitars I have been contemplating.

Ideally I would love a Steinberger Headless Bass and if that came in a kit would definitely have a crack at building one.

There is one Waz. Here is the link.

Thanks Naim, all guitars though and not one for the traditional Steinberger Bass.

They can be bought for about AUD $600 or so from Gallins Guitars but a kit should work out a fair bit cheaper than that if there was one.
