Yamaha RBX250F + Defretted Westone Thunder 1

[Annoying Twit]

I presume this is the RBX250F rather than a defretted RBX250.

I'm vaguely tempted by this. But, I think this is more of a budget model than the RBX260F, which I have played and enjoyed.

And, Buxton is annoyingly a bit too far to go for pickup. I'd go there if there was something mega-bargainlicious, but it would take me all day to get there and back.

This Westone fretless Thunder initially looks tempting, but it's a defret. The close up photo makes it look as if the defretting has been done quite well, but even so I must admit I'd prefer a factory fretless to a defret. I'm tempted to lowball around the starting bid price, but I'm just coming down on the side of 'no' on this one again.

While, as stated, I don't think I'll go for either of these, I'll just post here in case anyone has some direct experience of basses like these and wishes to argue that I should change my mind.

(Note: my budgeting strategy is that if I don't buy a fretless now, the budget I have for one will get bigger).
