Question. I am looking for a new bass and was wondering about learing on a fretless. I started playing about 4months ago. Would anyone NOT recommend getting a fretless at this point?

I know it may be a bit harder, but is it really going to make that much of a difference? I played a couple at the local music shop and they had the lines on them ... it wasn't that hard ...

Let me know if you have an opinion.

Thanks,
Keith.:confused:

If you like it, do it. It's that simple.

I second that.

I too would like to back up Brad's statement.

Careful though, as fretless basses are addicting. My fretted basses have gone by the wayside. BTW, I have a beautiful G&L L2000 fretless with rosewood board for sale. :)
