Aria Steve Bailey Fretless bass?

I've got one. Surprisingly good tone; sweet and mwah'ish. Probably my favorite sounding fretless of the ones I've owned. That video is a good representation, but it helps that he's a good player too.

If you like the tone, that's really key. It doesn't matter if someone else likes something else.
Aria makes some pretty good basses, and they tend to sell for cheap, used.
I'd suggest you keep looking, find one, make sure it's a decent one (not abused, etc.) and nab it!
 
Yeah I know that what matters is what I feel about it.

But you know...You can sometimes find some really weird things about a bass you like,which you didn't know befor.

:( Lol,all the low price ones on TB are already gone.
Though there are some people who still sell these here!
