check this ebay find out.... pretty neat looking, though the de-fretting looks a bit strange near the edges of the fingerboard.

That is seriously classy! PU cover being white suits it as well. Hope someone on here snags that!

(If only it was rosewood)

i don't understand why he "de-fretted" it. why not buy it fretless if he got it new?

He may have really wanted a maple fretless neck, and MM fretless factory necks are Pau Ferro wood... only reason I can think of.

weird. ah well... to me, de-fretting a fretted bass is like de-clawing a cat.

cruel!

The defretting looks weird towards the edges because,if you read, he has small inlays there.
