If you really want a cheap one then the Warwick Rockbass 5's aren't bad but I would recommend something with an ebony fingerboard

I wouldn't go for cheap basses normally but......I came across this cheapy from Thomann. [url="http://www.thomann.de/gb/harley_benton_hbb500fltbk_5string_fretless_ebass.htm"]Harley Benton B-500FL[/url]

The sound this guy produces with it is wonderful.

His face made me laugh as he struggles to get some sort of a nice sound out of it...

but that price tag is indeed amazing

I wonder what it would sound like without the effects though?

How much?!!! Difficult to go wrong at that price. The vid clips sound good too.

Another vote for the Warwick Rockbass Fretless 5 (Corvette in my case). Tiger Ebony fingerboard as well. Plus D'Addario chromes. Love it.
