I don't know much about the basses, but here is a fretless for $200. Maybe someone with more knowledge than myself can educate me.

Well, you can see lines on the fretboard of what are either actual frets, or remnants of where frets used to be. Either way, it isn't really fretless. It either has frets now, or used to have them, in which case it would be 'butchered' not 'fretless' ;)

$200 sounds OK though if it still has frets....

I did see that, but didn't know if they were "helper" lines or not.

That's a good point. It's really hard to tell what's going on there from the poor pic. They could just be painted lines. Although, a fretless purist would balk at such a thing....

:mad2: :cry: :down: Looks like someone just removed the frets. Price not bad and new frets could be put in if someone wants them. Should have kept it with frets in my opinion.
