1971 Fender Fretless Precision Bass, Rosewood Neck, Flatwound Strings

My beloved '71 Factory fretless Precision, aka 'Pietro'. Strung with La Bella flats, played through a Mesa MPulse 600 & Bergantino HS210. Drums provided my Mr. Korg Pandora.

Sounds great! Do you recall how you had the EQ set?

@Pudsy440 lol you and this guy here are the two people who converted me to fretless haha

[tucker441]

so much mwah.

Classic fretless! Older than a lot of players who watch this.  I like the tone! Cool.

Maybe the most pleasant bass tone i've heard from a guitar. It sounds a bit like an acoustic double bass. I think it's because the string and finger noises were recorded with the computer mic. I can imagine that if you added a tiny bit of piezo pickup (to get those high frequency noises) to your warm Precision pickup sound, you could emulate a contrabass. Relatively of course.

@BeedOfBass Thanks! I have checked out Warmoth and from what I understand they've got about the best quality and they're expensive enough, but they might be the best shot.

@yourself2036 Unless you know how to fill in the lines left by the frets id suggest buying a pre done fretless neck.

@51362879 Go to warmoth.com if you want a fretless blank fender spec neck.
