Here's another I'd like to see a forum member get. When I bought this I didn't expect it to be fretless and to be brutally honest, I'm not a good enough bass player to do justice to it.

I'd say that the conversion from fretted to fretless was done by a pro. It's an excellent job and the bass plays real well. I have another one of these that is fretted and I bought this one as a backup because the electronics in these are outstanding IMO. Great playing and great sounding basses. I had a fretless Rick 4003 for many years and this bass plays just as well as the Rick did. Sadly I was not (and probably won't ever be) precise enough for fretless instruments and this one is really too nice for me to keep.

The electronics all work as they should and I think they kick butt. Being a black finish every little fingerprint in the finish shows up but this is in very nice condition - not perfect but you can tell it was well taken care of. I have a new case for it which does a decent job.

This will go on ebay Saturday for $250 + shipping. For forum members who get to me before then, I'll do it for $210 = shipping. I have more pictures if anyone wants them.
