Post subject: | My new Half-Fretless NS/Stick |
Hi all, Just wanted to keep you posted. As some of you may know, a few months ago I was prospecting for an NS/Stick and weighing the options. Well, I decided in favor of a half-fretless NS/Stick and a few months later, I finally have it! Here's a first photo taken with my cell phone just to give you a feel for the color. Believe me, the photo does not do it justice. It looks a hundred times better in real life. Anyways hope you like it. I'll post more photos of it over the next few days. Here's the link: gallery/pic.php?mode=large&pic_id=341 Thanks a lot for helping me make the right decision. Be well, Cedric |

NICE ... If I could justify the expense I'd love a half fretless NS to sit beside my full fretted NS! Maybe some day! Enjoy your new instrument ... it looks beautiful! |

Here's one more photo. gallery/pic.php?mode=large&pic_id=342 Once again, the photo does not do it justice. Looks so much better in person. Be well, Cedric |

Here's the link: gallery/pic.php?mode=large&pic_id=341 Cedric[/quote] I gotta say, I remember I chose Indonesian Rosewood for a darker approach on the wood color. But the photo is really something different than looking at it now in real life. I was happily surprised! Haha Good luck man, I've heard Don Schiff play on that beast. Sounds really nice! Peace:) |

Yeah, I've shown it to a bunch of people over the past week and first they drool over its looks, then they double drool over its sound hehe. I'm telling you, the half-fretless is a beast to learn, but it would've been the biggest mistake of my life to miss out on it. There's no describing how good it sounds. |

I can only imagine. Learning the stick itself is quite a task, I wonder when the original stick will get a half fretted side! It will like take 9000 years to learn hahahahhaha:D Good luck with that man. As I have seen on Don Schiff's videos he uses the frets to hit the notes on the fretless side. And as a fretless bass player I tend to roll my fingers on the strings which I am used to on a fretted bass when doing pretty difficult chords. Don't do that or the notes will not be pitched perfectly, that makes the whole chord kind of sour. I hope that made any sense ? I bet you know better than me haha:D Love Adrian |

Congrats on your new NS... I play a bamboo grand, and am thinking of getting an NS like yours... How is the sound? Do you get that "MMMWWWAAAA" that one can get on a fretless bass? How about that mid-range "burp" ie, back pick up on a Fender jazz? The instrument is just beautiful!!! Enjoy!! |

There are also 1/2 fretless Sticks around (like this one:http://stickist.com/gallery/pic.php?mode=large&pic_id=176), but I personally didn't like too much the sound of the higher bass strings, so I got the idea of having the 1/4 made (and Emmett very graciously agreed to it). |
