I wish someone would put poor Ben out of his misery and buy that thing!
When he got it he found an upright bass too, and now only plays the upright for fretless jazz deals... and rightly so.

Its super cool to play and for $1500 you should be locked up, 'coz thats a steal.

One person tried it out but instead of buying it, commissioned a 5-string one. Yay for me, sucks for Ben.

I did think about it.
I'm probably more interested in his AI head for the fretless I currently have.
resale value on custom instruments is not really the go is it?

Depends on the instrument I guess. The market for unusually proportioned non-traditional fretless basses is probably pretty tiny for any brand. Plus he didn't pay as much as he's suggesting.

I'd be happy with $550 for mine

Cool, glad to hear it. I always wonder a bit with fretlessness whether I've done it right, 'coz its not really my bag. Everyone seems to like them so far. I have a scary big 5-string fretless coming up.

are you going to do a photo essay on the build ?

ash · Post by **ash** » Wed Oct 01, 2008 2:56 pm

No, photo essayness takes up too much time and its already too far down the track. There will be photos aplenty on completion though
