So here I sit with an FSR Jazz and teeter-totter everyday of the idea of an unlined fretless neck from Warmoth for it (and possibly a black pearl guard).
I would be doing it for "feel" more than tone or "muah", as I play mostly rock and folk of various types. I just prefer the feel of fretless, I guess. Probably from learning how to play on a '79 Ibanez MC940.

Eh?

Sorry, but I have no pics of just fretlesses, but the ones here w/o inlays are fretless:

And these aren't Js, but they have J style pups and one is fretless:

Is this in case The Blue Man Group goes bass!?

 

[GeorgeBerlin]

My trusty workhorse, MIM Fender Jazz with Barts, series wiring for the volume pots and a two-way treble blend (variably shunts either pup but never both at a time). It's collecting dust lately as I usually pick up my G&L L-2500 fretless these days...

It's still in transit on a fedex truck, but it's mine.

I hope you got the little "Portrait of Jaco" thrown in for free!

Cheers.

Cheers.

Not too shabby! Is that a Warmoth neck?

 

[Shedua511]

OK, I'll play
Lots of cool basses on display, I especially enjoyed the Smurf tribe.
Here are my fretless jazz bass and two hybrids.
From left: all Warmoth 5-string, Warmoth body/Status neck 4-string and lastly Status neck again with olive burl topped body by wonderful Neapolitan luthier Gaetano Costanzo (this is my main bass)

My Overwater between my other two fretless basses, an Eminence and a Rick Turner Renaissance.

Strange how light can affect the colors, the truth is somewhere between the two pictures.
