Heres my beauty:
A 2001 Sonus 5/2.
ByTheWay, "embellisher": Gee, what a nice bass - fretless Zon must be really sounding ... present, punchy??

I've got a photo of mine on my MySpace, but I am not that computer savvy and don't know how to post it. However, I'd love to join!
I have a Custom Sonus 4 with Hipshot D-tuners on the e and d strings, myrtlewood top and modified electronics.
Please pick me!!!

It has a piezo bridge. Combine that with 3 band EQ on the magnetics and 2 band on the piezos, and it can get any fretless sound you can imagine, from a very convincing upright emulation to Michael Manring.
The tone I hear in my head is pretty close to Jaco, with a bit more bottom. This bass has that, in spades.
I have played fretless basses from almost every manufacturer, some costing 3 times what I paid for my Zon. None of them better IMO. The only ones that came close were F Bass and Roscoe.
Nice Zon's, guys!!!
Could I reserve # 17, please. I'm a former dual Sonus 5 owner. One Red and one Amber. I traded the Amber one for a Bongo though, hope that doesn't disqualify me.
though, hope that doesn't disqualify me.

And Tom is added! Tom, this is one of those that just KILLS live. When I got it, I wasn't so sure of the solo tone, but after a gig...I just think it's friggin magnficent. Sits in the mix extremely well, and is loud and clear, without being overbearing. We definitely gotta get together soon. You have to check out my Cirrus too, and I'm sure you have LOTS for me to check out.
