I can't recall if I've seen this one posted here. I've been eyeing it for a week or two, but had never tried a fretless and so I wasn't really interested. But I tried a fretless for the first time this week and was surprised at how not horrible I sounded. It's something I may pursue in the future.

So I took a second look at this bad boy. I love the neck and I like the body color. What I can't decide is whether the two compliment each other or clash. It's a bit of nature meets machine.

I saw this too. I like it. I have an all-Warmoth fretless Jazz and it rules.

Yeah, I thought about it, too, as I was recently in the market for a jazz. I like the color. But I would have to swap out the neck, and at this point I would prefer a jazz with the 70s pickup spacing just to see how it compares. Surprisingly, there aren't any YouTube videos that accurately depict the difference. I thought about buying a complete kit from Warmoth, as well. I still may do that. I am certain that if I do that, I will forget some part and have to make another order. :lol:

I finally broke down and scratched my jazz-bass itch today (one of the new Marcus Miller Sires). And now I've got an itch for a fretless. I swear my wife is going to kill me for the insurance money.

So keep an eye out for when she sells my babies off cheap!

That's a really nice bass. I have a Carvin in charcoal/metallic gray color with rosewood board, so it's very similar, and I dig it.

Check the nut width on that Warmoth, though. I looks like it has P-Bass-width nut, if that's a concern.
