Fretless 5-String Electric Bass Kit

When my son asked for a 5 string fretless bass (Thanks Pedro Aznar) I made some quick math. A low end budget bass like that is around Cad$ 700 + tx in Amazon. If you want something better, think beyond Cad$ 1K.

Combine guitars found a niche here. They offer a kit for 270 + tx including everything you need. Quality of the materials was better than expected. In particular the swamp ash wood have great sound and helped to create an instrument that is alive and breathes. The cuts were perfect and precise, and I found no issue assembling the different parts. Electrically , the mics and the rest of components also worked well, no noise at all if you are careful with shielding. Only issue found was the quality of the bridge fixation screws. After breaking a couple of them, I decided to replace then with some other screws, not big deal really.

The resulting instrument is much cheaper and better than what you can get for $700+Tx from China. Just need a bit of your time and dedication.

And by the way, support the Canadian enterprises!
