Fretless

[5StringThunder]

Can anyone recommend a good 5 string fretless on a budget under $1000?

Plenty of used Carvin 5ers can be found for under a grand. Great American made basses that happen to have awful resale value.

This!

Just snagged this LB76PF off Ebay for $599 shipped..

Spec'd the same bass out on the Carvin website and it would run $1,408 new..

Alder black satin body, unlined ebony fretless fingerboard, 34", 24 frets

Bought for new last week for €. 400,00
($. 520.00) coupled it with a Warwick WA300 head (adviced by Mr. Andy Irvine in person) payed €. 300,00 ($. 400.00)
This setup it's gonna induct me into the magic world of fretless bass playin' (in thrash metal)
I'm very excited

Cheers,

You can get a Schecter studio 5 fretless for (usually) under $700.

I just spec'd out a Carvin B50F for $888 plus shipping. Exellent instrument.
