It's a Wishbass. Flawed, pointy, ergonomically bad, and full of awesome
This is a pre-factory fire model with the rare hardwoods, probably Wishbass doesn't even know what woods these are. Likely were taken from a once vital rainforest habitat
It has a slight buzzing around the 7th fret 3rd...
Here we have a fretless 5-string Wishbass, handmade in the Wishbass backyard shop in late 2010 before the fire. Rare Cypress body in the Arrow design. 5-pc neck is mahogany, purpleheart, and maple -- the neck IMHO is what makes a Wish sound like a Wish! Very thick neck 1-1/8" - 1-1/4" with soft...

This bass was recently handmade by Steve of Wishbass.
It's a pretty long story, but Steve made me this one to replace another one of his that got utterly destroyed by the good ole USPS during shipment. It took months to sort out, and in the end they denied my claim. Steve was nice enough to...

I bought a new Wishbass today and just after I bought it I noticed it had a 5 string Pbass PU on a 4 string bass.This was accomplished by having both halves of the pickups D string pole pieces line up.
Should I expect the D string to be noticeably louder than the other striings, and would...
This was a bass blank, unrouted, unfinished, no hardware, with an oversized maple body, that was custom ordered by a fella in my area. The original owner purchased the gold ABM headless tuner bridge, and electronics. Apparently he lost interest and never started the project. So I took it on...

Howdy,
I just bought a new Wishbass off of ebay. It arrived roughly sanded, uneven bumpy neck with a slathered on tru oil coat, dings, and holes...perfect!
What drew me to Wishbass was the fact that the ordered product is intended to be refinished or at least should be, which is perfect for...
Noticed that all their basses were listed at half price on Ebay, wondering if they're just clearing out old stock or trying to liquidate their inventory.
Either way, I just bought a Wishbass.
This is an unmodified out of the box wishbass, #1875 that I haven't played since I bought it. I paid 250 for it shipped, so I would like to sell it for 200 shipped or 175 local. The only trade I would consider is a Vintage Icon Jaco model plus cash to you. The bass wil be shipped in the original...

Pretty interesting, it has a piezo + acoustic pre amp built in.
Howdy -
As i explore the exotic goodness of wishbass fretlessness,
i want to begin swapping pickups.
Currently trying to get a nice setup to handle a 5 string fretless
with its customary "fat and flat" neck.
Any suggestions?
my friend has some carvin pickups with a radius.
guess...
Arrived today! Had no idea what to expect. Had it custom made with 5 strings. Sounds great. I really like the thick neck, very playable, I am so used to the thin neck. Needs a few small touch-ups, but I love this thing! oh and the weigh is perfect!
