fretless

Non of those pesky metal bumps on the fingerboard that force discrete notes from the infinite continuum of pitch ever possible between the nut and the saddle.
Seriously, if other people have to tell you then you don't need to worry about it. Not trying to sound like a douche but that's how it is.
My fretless bass picked up the phone yesterday and called its mother.
That's a pretty good thing isn't it?

Well, that's it right there. If the OP had asked for examples of fretless work to showcase what's so good about it, then we'd have something to help him with. But if the OP has heard fretless and is asking the question anyway, then this answer is it. Sorta like asking "what's so great about slide guitar?"

It's a question people join to ask, so I guess that's why there's such a "I just joined today and I always wanted to ask ......." vibe to it.
Seriously:
For me what's good about fretless basses (one of some other reasons) is: The look.
I love to see fretless basses. Esp. The unlined maple fretboard Fender Precision fretless. I can stare at their pictures again and again.
Too bad I don't own/play fretless. But someday I'd like to.
Just my two cents
