I live in Norway. :) My budget is about 2500$ I guess. Darkstrike: Yeah I hear ya. The bass I'm getting will definately have active pickups from stock. The problem is that my city only has 2 guitar shops, none of them are willing to take in expensive fretless basses that are not for...

Yeah I hear you on that Darkstrike. :) Thing is, there's basically only 2 shops in my town and a fretless bass on this pricepoint is a very niché instrument. They don't want to order up anything if I'm not going to buy it, because they won't get it sold that way. So i don't really have the...

I see. I would very much like active electronics, it really is a helping hand with the sustain on a fretless.. I'm really not sure about the Rockbass because of the pricing, more expensive is usually better right? That's how my head works anyway. :) The price I have to pay for the Streamer $$...

Hello folks! For a few months now I've borrowed a cheap Cort 5-string fretless from a friend of mine, to play around with. I really have fallen for the sound and feeling of playing a fretless bass and I've decided to make one my main instrument in my band. Our musical genre is mostly...

Hello guys! I've been lurking for a while since I picked up the bass in my band, and thought It couldn't hurt to ask you fine folks about your opinion on the bass I'm on the verge of ordering. I played for a while on a Warwick Corvette $$ 4-string fretted bass. Absolutely love the sound of...
