I seen that last night and was going to post this AM. Not sure I remember seeing on of those basses ever. Looks to be in great condition but the photos are not that great. |

Anyone else have noticed the listing says it's a fretless and it has lines only on half of the fingerboard? I looked at Reverb listings and they all look like this as well. |

I can’t see the actual Facebook listing for this, but I looked up some pictures of other Bartell basses, and it looks like lines on the fretboard are the fret marks. Here’s an old reverb listing for a righty. (If that link works..) https://reverb.com/ca/item/180900-hohne ... 0s-natural |

I've never seen a fretless bass with lines only on half of the fretboard. Pretty cool! Murzenquest thanks for the link!

Another odd thing is on the righty the top grain is going across the body and the back is going the opposite direction and has a binding |

I'd like to know how the neck is mounted. I would guess it's more than just those two visible bolts working overtime! |

That screw you see by the ‘bridge pickup’ secures the neck in addition to the others, but also has a tilt function, just as the 3-bolt 70’s fender basses. So the neck goes quite deep into the body. The only reason I know is because I took a dive into the interwebs... http://bartell.vintageusaguitars.com/in ... ll-basses/ |

Well, if you're going to own one of these, and you're a 'Murican, you've GOT to own this one!  http://www.lostartvintage.com/Categoryi ... country=us

My buddy Seb from the Paceshifters bought a guitar here in Toronto with that paint job on it when we had them over for a tour in Canada a few years ago. The guitar builder - a small boutique guy here - wasn't having any luck selling it to the hipster Canadian crowd that he usually gets, because of the 'Murican connotations. All he needed was a Dutch guy to walk in the shop.
