Is it hard to play a fretless? I'm looking into getting the Squier VM Jazz one since it seems well received.

Beautiful ... it's rare that I like a single-cut, but I like this one. Now if only I could have it in an unlined 5 ...
ooh ooh!! i get to join a club! lol
my tacoma fretless. i bought it refurbed off of ebay. whoever did it, did a really good job! it looks a little like a cat peed on it, but the sound is incredible. plus that gives me a reason to punk it out... lol

Pick me, pick me.
I'm playing a defretted '94 MIM Fender J. I've replaced the bridge with a Gotoh 201 and the pups with Dragonfire pups, which have worked splendidly.

No need for a number, just showin' pics. Here's my 78 P and a franken P fretless with an ebony cello finger board.
Really dig the Picasso/freakout vibe of this bass! So playful compared to the staid, conservative finishes frequently seen on instruments. Did the cello fingerboard require much modifying to attach it to the neck? What's the bridge pickup?
I created my own fretless. Does that mean I'm still in the Club?
I took a hand-me-down BC Rich Warlock and threw on LaBella Flats, an ESP P pup, a Lace Sensor J pup, and re-finished the neck fretless.
(note: J pup not replaced yet in this picture)

afinalfantasy: Is it hard? Not really. The tricky part is intonation, and practicing the right way helps cure that. IIRC Squire fretless basses have lines, that also helps.
indvoice: Ask not what the number actually does, but what you can do with the number. Mostly, you can add it to your profile signature so everyone knows how cool you are because you have been accepted into a club. Maybe we should develop an initiation rite. Oh! I got it, you must own a fretless bass and be able to play the first note of Jaco's Continuum.
