Fretless bass: somewhere between a religion and a personality test. The JB Style Fretless DIY Bass Guitar Kit pairs the classic J-bass voice with a fretless fingerboard — basswood body, two J-pickups, and the kind of mwah-y, vocal tone that makes session players go quiet.
Bolt-on neck with the dual-action truss rod installed (no frets, by design), predrilled and routed, pre-sanded, two J-pickups wired through two volumes and one tone. The fretless fingerboard turns sliding into singing — and turns small mistakes into character. Plays best with patience and a clean amp.
Made and shipped from the USA. Backed by us — defective parts replaced free, no return needed. Build your own bass guitar in the fretless configuration that's been quietly running jazz, fusion, and serious singer-songwriter records for decades. Once you go fretless, you mostly come back. But not always.
