B-550FL BK Progressive Series : Fretless fun!

10 years ago

I've been playing bass since christmas time (guitarist before that), and always fancied having a go at fretless bass and I seen this model online and thought it looked great.

It plays very nicely, holds the tuning well and looks great as well. It has a nice low action, smooth fretboard and I found it quite easy to reproduce the same notes without having the fretlines on the neck.

It has a great tone even unplugged if you're noodling about - the phyiscal experience is a lot different than a fretted bass, i felt much more space and freedom in my playing.

It's a steal at that price, well built, looks the part and sounds lovely active or passive

You can hear it on this track - >

Get it, it's great!
