I'll tell you what kind of joke this is: it's the kind that a guy from Florida started back in the late sixties when he pulled all the frets off his bass. It's not funny after you hear that guy play one of these basses.

By the way, "there ARE no frets" is the correct English.

Great bass but only one major flaw, the owners parents are too rich.

But seriously, it sounds like a case of someone going to a music store and buying their kid the most expensive bass they can find, only to realize they know even less than their kid, and accidentally bought a fretless.

You would think with background in jazz would have prepared him for such a thing. The individual also sounds familiar with Warwick as well so who knows.

And I know it's easy to make the assumption that this sort of inexperience is a sign of age, but it's not. It's just a sign of inexperience (and privilege).

...Or a funny fake review.
