Geez, Seems ott.
Nothing like a fretless stingray, stand by for the PINO signature model at twice the price of a regular fretless stingray

Well, they’re quite a comparatively small shop by the looks of things so I understand why they tend to aggressively trim lines that aren’t selling.

I find fretless basses fun but wouldn’t be able to justify owning one.

That parts pbass I won arrived today. Massive shout to Terexgeek who collected it for me in ChCH and slung it my way. We have solid people on this forum. Pictures etc to come.
I was in the mind of maybe putting something HB in it, but surprisingly, the Seymour Duncan quarter pounders are spot on ( with the toan all The way up).
It’s all parts pbass project with a badass II bridge and a drop D tuner gadget.
Happy day.
