Just been watching a great course on Scott's bass lessons with Steve Lawson as an intro to fretless. Some great tips and exercises to help transition from a fretted bass. It's shown I really need to focus on my precision before moving over I think. But it's also made me more excited for the range of sounds and expression. Unless something second hand pops up I'll be aiming for a sire p7 I think.

Not going to go full on mwah I think as it definitely can sound gimmicky. I think I'm interested as a new challenge and to push my ear and technique. How do you approach a setup? I guess the intonation on a lined can be checked and the string height dictates the sound?

Definitely heading for a lined neck for that reason.

Yes, not having the actual pic is worrying. I'm sure there are thoughts on ebony vs maple vs roasted maple boards. Do I even think about that right now?

So, sire fretless 5 strings., any thoughts? Not much 5 string fretless stock about in the usual shops.

Ah don't!

Thanks everyone. Loads of great stuff to think through. Top marks to neepheid for actually trying to talk me out of it, the rest of you are pure enablers! 😁 Off to the marketplace I go...
