I've got £400 to spare. (rare as rockin horse sh*t). I,ve decided to purchase a fretless if possible as i don't have one and haven't played on one for about 12 yrs. does anyone know of a half decent or better fretless bass that i can buy brand new for around £350 to £400?
thanks a lot

+1,

a nice CIJ Jazz would do nicely. Alternatively you might just snag a standard Warwick Corvette for £400, not too shabby if you prefer something away from the Fender track.

Be open about second-hand. I was looking for a fretless on that budget, and was hunting around for a while. Best bet, I figured, was an Ibanez Gary Willis on a big discount.

In the end, though, I picked up an old Status 6er on this very forum. Certainly not what I went looking for, but never looked back.

They're not too noticeable, and don't affect the playabilty at all. If I keep it I'll get it sanded and epoxied.
