I guess you guys are the ones to talk to, so i'll cut to the chase. I'm an electric bassist (Ibanez SR-5) and i'm looking towards uprights. What's the price range for these things and what models would you recommend?

it's just that on my fretless, i can't play the right note half the time, but a fretless five-string acoustic with side markings that i played in jersey gave me totally different results

I currently have a Dan Electro Longhorn Fretless Bass with vintage EMGs (This's things kinda old) and i'm thinking about fixing it up a bit (electronics, etc). While I'm at it, i figure that i might as well put fret markings on it (so i can play the notes more accurately and still have the...

Yeah, Peavys have pretty thin necks. i have a peavy fury myself and couldn't stand it, but eventually got used to it. not a real biggie, but make sure the strings you put on aren't too thick (a .110 e-string should be good)

Make a fair offer (I'd say about $300), but make sure you see pictures before you buy it, and don't give the money until you see it.
