My last girlfriend had absolutely stunning green eyes.

Said farewell to this beauty today... 😔

Harley Benton has some interesting stuff these days - I am tempted by their Fusion series guitars... roasted maple necks with stainless steel frets for under £350?!

Just seen it. Looks great!! What a bargain. https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.co.uk%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F143544487045

Alternatively, 80s Japanese stuff comes in at that sort of price point. Fenders, Squiers, Fernandes, etc.

Hard to go wrong with a Nate. I’d get one of those, put a tort guard on it, swap in a Nordstrand and call it a day.

I’m surprised pickup positions weren’t mentioned at all in the context of the original post.

My Shuker 6 string singlecut has a 33” scale, low B sounds great.

I’m in the process of trading a 4 string Sadowsky for a 5...

I’d wager that most fretlesses existence are the one fretless in a much larger collection of fretted instruments. I personally have around 20 basses, but generally owned only one fretless at a time (I don’t own any at the minute).

I think the fretless market is a lot smaller than the fretted one, so there’s less incentive for manufacturers to get involved. I had a Revolution which was unbelievably good for under £200 and unbeatable in my opinion. I think part of the issue is that most fretless beginners tend to be experienced fretted players, so they get a cheap secondhand one, and then upgrade to something more serious if they get more involved.

Those DO look nice. Hope they introduce a medium scale at some point...

Ideal for that last, set-closing number of your Chris Isaak tribute act...
