    cool fretless EBMM

    Saw this on the 'Bay tonight. Aside from the red strings, it's pretty tasty. If I had the cash, I'd add this 'Ray to the collection for sure.

    Change of pickguard (tort obviously) and new strings and that's a killer BIN.


    I recently turned 43 and have decided to give up the playing after 30 great years.
    WTF?

    man oh man!
    If it were a bongo 5 HH lined with pink slinkys in a color pick guard combination that I wanted (and even I don't know what that is right now) and the price was insanely low and I had the cash to burn and mars was in another part of the sky and today didn't end with the letter 'y' and I was 3 years older and I would have to know that it would directly fund BP alcohol and golf fund and if fresh mushrooms were only $1 a pound, I'd be all over this like white on a loaf of store bought bread.
    Yes Sir!!!!

    you know that feeling where you realize you've just fallen in love with another hunk of wood? Good lord, if it plays half as good as it looks. And who is this jackass that wants to give it up. Someone should slap him.

    it might be the pictures but the fretboard looks dry

    (would it be a lack-of-fret board since its a fretless?)

    It does look dry however this is due to the flash. I coated the fingerboard with orange oil prior to taking the pics. The board did soak up the oil pretty good.

    After being pestered by friends and family I have decided not to sell my Trace amp and continue playing. My next question was whether or not I should continue buying and playing Musicman basses.

    Any help out there?
