Played The New(?) Fender Fretless @ GC

Your drawing and description make me think of a 1980's fender jazz bass special , they came in all black , no pickguard etc BUT they did not have fret lines, it was a blank board.

Yeah, the description sounds like a Power Jazz Bass Special. It has a battery door as it is active. If the preamp had been changed that would explain the 4 knobs. Possibly a defret, too.

Did it look like this?
