Here is what you can get by Thomann, if you like the Warwick sound of their strings, there's a bit of choice : https://m.thomann.de/gb/search.html?categoryKeys=GISAEB*&manufacturers=Fodera|Warwick&q=Bass high c&s=price

This set is what I used on my fivers with a high C. Great strings, but it will be cheaper to buy a D'Addario sixer set... https://m.thomann.de/gb/fodera_5_string_set_medium_high_c.htm?o=29&search=1577904528

@Naga had (if it's sold) his Mermet fanned fretless for sale here on BassChat :

No fretless model. A headpiece designed à la Laurus. Not so ergonomical to my eyes. The locking jack is a real pain in the *ss : put one on your amp too, so you can come in front of the stage with your complete rig 😂. It's a bass not a tow truck ! Making headless basses 35 years late is a bit strange. The Strandberg's are more ergonomical (Klein design inspired). And what's this sissies strings spacing, we are not all small guys with cigarette fingers. Never understood Ibanez policy regarding basses. They never make the right bass at the right time. The original AFR was superbly designed, by the late Rolf Spuler, and totally ergonomical, but didn't appeal the bassists at the time. You want an ergonomical headless bass, try this : He's making headless basses since the first days and knows a lot about ergonomics, being an architect before a luthier, every detail is thought for sound and ergonomy.

Sounds just like as if he had put new strings on the Funk Machine...

A fretless stick could be very interesting and tempting... Not such a bad idea.

I'm in that process since a few months, Russ. Really thinning down the herd.

Maybe.

Here are some of mine, I really don't like lined fretless basses because you tend to play with your eyes and not your ears.

This. With a guy called Thundercat on the bass. And the two following records, so 4 discs. This guy is really prolific. And this, certainly the best jazz album of 2019.

Was about to say it. So long, and thanks for all the fish.

But in the end, it will be the same.

Could you please merge these too, this will be completely nuts ? I wrote it on a piece of paper and put it to the bin, but it appeared here. After all, it's the same, no ?

They'll be jealous at TB, because it's even madder with all threads merged. Comments at the wrong place makes it even more nonsense. Makes me think of Stop posting without reading. Genius idea, Moderati. But only 4 pages...

I'm the shame.

... Whatever the song is.

Metal snowflakes do hurt more than snow snowflakes, but they sound better for jazz.

Exactly what I wrote above. You must be in the wrong thread 😁 :

I like to sound like myself, it's better this way, methinks. That said I've always loved the sound of Shri Sriram and his music (yep, another fretless player) :

Trust your sixth sense.
