Thinking about getting a fretless twin for my natural/rw 5H

So, I've had the new 5hh less than a week and I can't seem to put it down. A few of you asked me to share my thoughts after I got to play with it for a bit.

I am soooo glad I went with the HH, the crazy amount of tones I can get out of this really floors me. Given my mindset has been the H for so long, I feel like I got way more than I expected. I reaaaally like position 4, the inner coils. It is just such a punchy modern tone.

I remember a few of you, in regard to the different switch settings, saying about how some fit in the mix better than others. Last night I did a play along with some music... some straight up jazz, some modern soul, and some old funk, and went through the switches as I played them. I now see what you mean. Some of the tones don't necessarily stand out to me when just playing solo, me thinking I might not really use them, but they do sound better in the mix.

Also occurred to me how incredible a fretless 5HH would sound, but I'm not sure if those are available. Part of me hopes they aren't....;)
