Fretless, any ideas what itis?

This is a cool idea for a fretless.
I have seen others with the fingerboard goinfg up higher, but not quite this far.

Just saw it as a picture, no identification.
Any ideas?
Thanks

Marleaux does some pretty similar builds, Stradi also does very long fretless boards similar to to that.

It's a Shuker as @pgpete already posted.

Looks gorgeous but it's almost impossible to intonate past the 15th fret without obscene skill.

Beautiful bass, I was going to guess Marleaux too, looks a little like their Diva basses. Unlined fretless look great, but if you want to play in tune sometime this decade......get a lined board.

Seems like it would be annoying to play without a good place to anchor my right thumb.

Piezo pickup only, I suppose?

That should keep the "tapping" guys busy for a few years.

Would be my guess, which, as cool as it is, means a no-go for me. I like it though!

That fretless Shuker is lovely! Perhaps inspired by Pagelli?

The idea was to build a fretless bass that eliminates everything that’s not absolutely necessary.

There are little fret markers on the edge, I'm good with dots so no issues there. I'd want a magnetic pickup hidden under the board, maybe rear access to adjust or something. The nut looks wider than jazz typical, which I like!! Net-net, I'd take one.

14 minutes from initial post to the actual item. Not bad, TB, not bad at all.

Michael Manring, anyone?

This. My Fbass has 28 frets and it does get dicey up high on the neck.
