Fretless Precision

[fftc]

OK, I know it's essentially an oxymoron given why Leo gave it the name he did, but my question stands. What options are there for a fretless Precision?
And when I say Precision I mean Precision sized neck, no PJ pickups or any other aberrations. Just a standard Precision bass but without frets.
I have found one so far. Most of the others have either a jazzy neck, or a jazzy pickup or something else decidedly non-precisiony. Help me please.

You just want a bog standard Precision fretless. None of this Tony Franklin business.

There are a number of different types. I have had a rosewood board one and now have a natural with a maple board. I think you may be looking at a second hand one rather than new but then I am not hugely up to date. I don't know how you stand on lines (cheating :-) ) as they seem to be lined these days.

Here's a nice one that's for sale on here.

I played it when Oldman had it. It's a really nice bass, and I like a p-bass thickness neck.

...and another thing...

I had an MIJ fretless precision which was awesome. Surf green, tort guard, ebony fingerboard - lovely!

I have a factory fretless Precision, mine is a 1978 model with a maple fret(less)board. It's pretty damn heavy, but mighty fine sound wise. I fitted half wound strings on it to avoid damage and it sounds epic.

In the mid-90s Fender came out with a fretless P Bass. I have one. I prefer it much over a Jazz fretless. It has more "mwah" that anything other bass I have ever encountered, including when I puit flats on it to eliminate the over mwahing sound. So I lived with it and put on some pressure wounds and have enjoyed it. There still may be a few of those P fretlesses around from that time if you look carefully.

Thanks everyone.

I'm not looking to buy right now. Just looking for future reference!
