Trade Feeler: MTD Z5 fretless 5 for fretted 6

[Jim Nazium]

Hi Everyone,

I have here an MTD Z5 5 string fretless in excellent condition. Mahogany body, burled maple top, maple neck with lined ebonol (synthetic) fingerboard. Wood-covered soapbar pickups, 3-band active EQ. Black chrome hardware. Plays great and I love the sound, but I don't know if I will live long enough to learn to play fretless well. The fingerboard is very hard, which makes it sound similar to a Pedulla Buzz or Jaco-style epoxied board.

I'm interested in getting a fretted 6 string to experiment with chord melody, a la Todd Johnson. I'd also consider a fretted 5 string that can strung E to C

Got anything to trade? This bass sells for about $1200 new, $700 used. A straight trade for something of similar value would be ideal, but I can add or accept cash as necessary. I have a new, generic hard case to include as well.

There is a very slight amount of fingerboard wear, as shown.
