fretless basses

People seem to be fairly impressed with their Brice and SX fretless and fretted basses, which usually retail from rondomusic.com for between $150-$300.

What brand was it that you tried?

 

An inexpensive fretless isn't hard to find, especially if you look at used ones. A great fretless will probably run from about $1000 new/used and up. I picked up a used 1977 (AFAIK) Guild B301F right around your price range. Cort makes some very nice lower priced fretlesses. If you're new to fretless it's probably better to start on the lower cost end. They can be harder to sell than most fretted basses should you decide you don't want it.

I agree, fretless is fun

 

Thanks Brad,
I was reading two posts regarding fretless basses; I responded to the wrong one. The one that this should have been in had references to basses made by CT, F-bass, etc. I will move it!

 

I have one that has been pretty good to me and they are abundant in the $300 - $350 range.

 

i have a yamaha fretless 4 str. it's pretty nice and not expensive. +/- 350 euro new.

 

I would also suggest a Yamaha. They do make a very nice bass for the money. I recorded on a Yamaha P-Bass copy that cost less than $200 and it was very decent sounding.

 

Aria Igb-68 has a fretless version not sure about the other igb's but that should fit ok in your budget
