Who here only plays fretless bass?

Me. I knew I wanted one when I first saw one in the Fender catalog back in the '70s. I do have fretted basses, but fretless is my goto.

Yup. Too late on this bass. It's going to work out fine, though. I'm sure I'll like it it's just a bit intimidating. I'm putting white plastic strips in for fretline markers so I'll be able to see where the frets used to be. It's also a fretted conversion so the side dots will be where i'm used to them being.

Oh, thats a good idea about the plastic inserts to mark the fret locations. Ypu'll be fine. The learning curve is relatively short.

Even my fretless Jazz basses have the side dots.... Does that mean these were fretted at one time? I know that both of them have had the orig rosewood fingerboards replaced with ebony. But that was done before i bought them (used). Hmmmm.... *finger on chin*
