Whoever said a fretless isnt made to slap must not have seen this video, I love the straight out drum style percussiveness it gets compared to the click on a fretted

I kinda prefer "Jerry Was A Racecar Driver"....Some slapping, some tapping, some...other stuff.

It's hard on the fingerboard, though . . .

Not necessarily. Just saying.

slapping, as i understand it, is harder on metal frets than it is a fretless board. the wood only compresses so much [contrary to the popular 'chews up' and 'eats away' phrases that get used].

You dont worry about your fingerboards when you can afford a 100 more just like em.
