Huh? Go on, it's a dull afternoon, what's the back-story on this?

....I mostly play jazz and funk, so on the funk side it won't help, but on the jazz side it would do....

I'm not sure that Jazz on a regular acoustic bass, ie big spanish guitar, will sound any better than your other fretless.

I went to London to the Bass Gallery (it's awesome by the way!) and tried some acoustics out. They had enough to try but it wasn't a massive choice (although not many places will have a big choice) but I tried all of them and quite liked a blue Dean like they have on the website....[/quote]

Was going to suggest Dean (and Tanglewood, but they've already been mentioned) - I had one of their cheap-and-cheerful acoustic basses (a Playmate, IIRC), and it was very good for the money. May have to go and have a look for another one now...
