If lined fretless basses count I have a sunburst Lakland 55-94 that doesn’t look like a Jaco but sounds exceptional.

Parts bass:Olympic White, white pearl pg, lefty unlined neck
I made this one, I used a similar body shape to a P from a light swamp ash block.. the neck which is unknown builder but plays incredible.
Yeah I went with a heavy mass bridge later, added weight to the tail with Ultralite tuners, so no neck dive.
Oh man, that is he ultimate bass for a Tony Levin / King Crimson fan like me.
This one is scheduled for delivery on Monday. Mexican Player Fretless Jazz Bass.
It does also have a fretted neck, but the fretless is the main neck.
Here's a '71 I've had since the early 80's. I hardly ever play fretless but it's a nice bass:
well, i "made them" from parts --- i just assemble them. pretty easy to do with FSO-style axes!
Ordered this last week. Arrives on Monday. Lakland Skyline 44-64 with ebony fretboard. It's been years since I played fretless and I am super excited to get back to it.
