I've tried some blacknylon strings on an acoustic bass. Rotosound, La Bella and GHS. I prefer GHS blacknylon strings because its are more sweet with a light gauge compared to others ! GHS Tapewound™ - 4 String Set Tapewound Black Nylon 1st-G .050 ___ 2nd-D .070 ___3rd-A .090 ____4th-E .105 http://ww...

And good graphite replacement necks, available in freless too !

I like really these two worlds, Upright Bass and Electric Bass !

I played during 10 years Upright Bass and this sound is... UNIQUE !
To play Jazz music it's ideal... The big bottom sound !

Elecrtic bass is more a guitar's approach with a tight and precise sound !

Ah Ah ! NickBass :lol: No it's not an english JayDee Bass but a french Aquilina bass... Aquilina Triton model ! 8) It's really a good instrument, very lightweight and well balancing ! The sound : Q-tuner BL-4 on bridge, Crel JB42 (french manufacturer) at neck and 4 piezos Ghost Graph Tech in the bri...

Since 5 months, only one !.. my four strings fretless and go !

I like ebony fingerboard... so natural !
Ebony is a very hard wood with a good resistance to play roundwound strings.
It gives a very good reponse with fretless bass, strong low and treeble too, attack is reduced with a light natural compression.
It's a nice tone with a warm reponse.

My personal preferences : Scale Length - 35" or less... 33" (I use only 4 strings). Fingerboard Radius - Definitively ebony . Side markers and Lines - Lined. Neck construction materials - One piece mapple. Neckthrough vs. Bolt-on vs. Neck-set - Bolt-on, I prefer the attack of it. Action and Setup - ...

I used during 20 years fretless basses with white dots on the fingerboard' edge where we put fingers.
I have bought a Squier VM with fret lines and white dots between these lines.
I use now 2 basses with fret lines and it's well to play in tune and mostly for the hight notes and chords.
