Copley CBE-59NT Review

Copley CBE-59NT
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
When I first purchased my Copley 5-string I had a couple reservations. I hadn't heard anything about the company so therefore had little to go on. As soon as it arrived my mind was put at ease. Great craftsmanship combined with quality materials make this one of the sweetest sounding 5-string basses I've heard. Tons of sustain & heaps of crunchy deep tones. After having it a couple months, I decided to strip the entire guitar and go with a natural wood finish. I also decided to remove the frets while I was at it, since I prefer to play only fretless. All in all... money well spent! Copley offered a very high quality product which I modified to meet my preferences.

Washburn Taurus Series T14FLB Electric Bass Review

Side dots are in the wrong place. They are not where the frets would be (which is the way that fretless basses should be done) but in between fret locations, as they are on a fretted bass. I've run into this several times with several different manufacturers, some expensive and some cheap, and in this case it is too bad, as the bass has good tone and nice action.
But as it is, it's pretty useless unless you have the tooling to drill out the dots, fill them with black filler, sand them to match the neck, and then put dot inlays in the right place. I am a luthier, and I've done this myself, but it's tedious, takes a long time and has the potential to ruin the instrument if you do it wrong.
Avoid this bass.

Squier by Fender Vintage Modified Jazz Bass Fretless, 3 Tone Sunburst Review

See Video. You cannot find a bass under $300 that will play like this - this is Jaco tone right out of the box! I tweaked the truss rod a bit (lowered the action) and voila! The Duncan Pups sound really good too! I have been playing for 30 years - I have played and owned the best of the best basses including Fender Custom Shop and Fodera - you will not be disappointed in this instrument - Fender really outdid themselves on this inexpensive little Axe. Almost all the Harmony Central reviews are all 9 or 10's! BTW - I am playing thru a Markbass 1X12 combo - recorded with the external Mic on my iPhone - just laying near the amp.
