Watson SCNT 5 / 34" FL
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, fretless......................I love fretless !!!!!!!
Fretless bass ought to taught to carefully selected schoolkids, so we
might have more fretless adult players in the music we dig.
This is the first fretless bass by Alex Watson ( save for his
personal bass - he was brought up right ).
The SC design makes playing this bass a very comfortable and intimate ( ? ) experience.
The mini fretlines help with intonation without giving the appearance of frets.
These little lines really DO work , the small line enable the mind to
complete the lines and therefore play in tune.
Oh yeah, another thing about fretless , ALWAYS smile when you are
playing , as if you really meant all those microtonal anomalies.
The body core is Wenge , with Flamed Koa top and back , with runners.
The 34" scale neck is primarily Wenge with Orange Osage runners.
The fretboard and matching pickup covers are Gaboon Ebony.
The pickups are custom overwound Big Singles by Carey Nordstrand -
matched with Glockenklang 3 band EQ and your are in Smoothville, USA.
Nice pickup placement , Alex !!
