Wanted: Martin Acoustic fretless

Post by slybass3000 »

Hi there,

I have an acoustic Martin that I really like.

i don't want to defret it because I love it the way it is but I wouldn't mind having the same bass fretless or defret it if necessary. I'm looking for the BC 15-E.

Thanks.

Southpaw has it fretted. I wanted to buy it when I was there but that idea was vetoed by my significant other. Great bass, great condition. See the thread I did on my visit to Southpaw, and you'll see the acoustic offerings they had.

Thanks for that. I noticed at SP that there was a very lacquered Martin. Was it that one? Mine is more natural finish. Anyway I missed a fretless one on ebay about 2 months ago and at that time it wasn't in my plans. i got great results for a TV special with Celine Dion 3 weeks ago with my fretted to replace an upright part. But I still do wonder how a fretless Martin with flats would sound even more like the real deal!
