Fender Fretless Jazz Bass
This was the 2nd bass I purchased. It was a sea change for me, switching from the Guild Starfire short-scale fretted hollow body bass to a fretless solid body. I replaced the stock pick-ups with what were at that time brand new Bartolini 9E p/us which were their first Active pickups that didn’t require external circuitry. I really enjoyed playing and recording with this instrument.
A few years ago, in a moment of creativity and/or insanity, I took an orange paint pen and personalized the body. You can decide if my actions were misguided…
