Fretless 5-6 string

[talkbasser]

Hi from Canada
I am looking for ideally a 6 string fretless with mwah but open to a 5 string since 6 are hard to find under 2000$
*I am thinking about the Helm and the Tune models online at TheLowEnd and
*Maybe the Schecter Stiletto 6FL or the Ibanez EHB1005F but I can’t get my head around the latter ,sold as a multiscale fretless 34 inch with fretlines only for the lowest string…
*Omni bass 5 34 inch
Thank you for your suggestions and your time

How about the 6-string Ibanez Portamento (SRF706)? They tend to get a lot of love on this forum. Should be well within your budget.

The SRF706 was going to be my suggestion as well, but there is a 5 as well and likely is more common.

The Ibanez EHB1005F isn’t multiscale.

Ok thank you. It is listed on some sites as a multiscale fretless so that was confusing

Hi,

Did you try EHB1005F ?

How about a used Carvin LB76?

No but I would like to

What I've seen so far on youtube ( 2 videos) is not promising at all

My fretless 5 and 6 are both used Carvins.

Is the bridge allowing a very low action for mwah? Because what I read and what I have been told by a bass store is that the bridge won’t lower enough. Thank you
