Title: Another Unicorn - Spoiler 7-String Lined Fretless!
Post by: garyhead on May 31, 2025, 07:38:13 AM

WOW.....here's something that doesn't come up too often.  First thing I noticed was how small the truss rod cover looked on this bass.  Seems like a reasonable price too:

Is the seller here in the club?  Would love to avoid Reverb. I have a Conklin 7 that I love but I do like a fretless 7 opportunity.

I think so, Trevor Lindsey got it about a year ago:

They have more of his basses listed, might be on consignment?

Yes it was one of mine and each time it passes on it increases in price.
I’ll be having a moving sale pretty soon so lots of geetars and basses and Phil jones amps and cabs looking for new homes. Oh, and pedals too.
I may just have what you need.

Hey guys, I pulled the sale because I just can't part with it.  Sold a bunch of other basses instead.

Well. You have a potential buyer here. I’m patient.  If you do sell, would be nice to “keep it in the family.”


And you can see…..I don’t have a Spoiler…..or a Coco Bolo bass.  :P

The tone and the mwah are fabulous.
