Members tabdog Posted February 8, 2012 Members Share Posted February 8, 2012 I liked my $9 fretless bass so much, I decided to upgrade. I bought a Washburn T12 off CL for $60. It had a wide Ibenez type neck. I de-fretted it and I took it down in size like I did on my other bass. The neck is a tad smaller than a jazz neck now. Here's my new fretless on a budget, Bodie likes it too, Thanks for lookin, Tabdog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members wanderoo222 Posted February 14, 2012 Members Share Posted February 14, 2012 That looks great! I have considered defretting a bass too. What did u fill the fret grooves with? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members bassman1956 Posted February 16, 2012 Members Share Posted February 16, 2012 Nice basses, those Washburns, I've played them. Feel, balance, sound okay. And looks like you did a nice job on the neckwork. But, to me, the design is too much of a rip-off of Jerzy Drozd's designs. And owning 2 JD's, having compared, I think I feel confident in saying that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
