Without this new forum having been created, I might have passed by this fretless bass. Quite unique.

Very nice.............but what would I do with that extra string?

I can thing of a few things.

I think I remember the Dragonetti brand from a few years ago, IIRC. I think some of his ideas were inspired by Abe Rivera's basses.

That reminds me of some odd bass that Jaco played, but it was owned by another player.

Looks too rich for my blood!

Hey Brian. Which string is the extra one?

That's the Rivera that Jerry Jemmott owns.

Bingo Jeff.

The low B String Peter. I would have no use for that personally. Jeff be nice.

Yes, To B or not to B, that is the question.

I'm going through that right now....but with a fretted bass.

I guess I'm getting old, the brain is S L O W to respond.

That LOW B is very cool though....the entire building SHAKES when I hit it!

I have recently been using my 5 string basses a lot again, as some of the music The Karma Kings are doing require the low B string. It is useful.

Send it to me, I'll show ya!!

Wow, very nice, Peter! I'm sure you're enjoying that fretless bass!

Good one, Joey. Just to be clear, this is not my bass but I saw it at one of my favourite Canadian music shops online and thought is would be appropriate for this new forum.
