I recently traded a Sterling 2HH for a fretless Mania. It plays soo nice...really well balanced, lovely neck, great tones. Possibly the best fretless I've ever owned.

Love these. Love the headstock, love tones. Can't deal with the weight. I was considering having mine chambered.

The roundwounds are readily available for around a tenner. Check ebay.

That was a subtle hint... Happy forthcoming Birthday. 🥳🥳

You also have to account for the finish. The amount of time spent on finishing anything is an important factor - that's why hand-built basses have an extra 0 on the end of the price.

A good suggestion might be to post your location. If you're near me you are welcome to come and try what I have.

Somebody posted info about these in a different thread - drawing a comparison with the Wal sound. I'd really like to know how good they are. https://lusithanddevices.com/product/nfp-single-jazzplate/

I have a similar issue with the tuners on a Mahalo Uke. I couldn't find anything suitable. Watching with interest.

I found these on my many meanderings on eBay. They have some for sale but will custom build whatever you want, at what seem, very reasonable prices. Does anybody know anymore? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/275754248489?hash=item40343be929:g:O78AAOSwestkGXo-&amdata=enc%3AAQAHAAAA4A%2BTGHgmeZNKM0sw%2FxMNX8uD0EqrwtfZ2JDblg4HAtSwXZcgE1EOa%2FJ668tXkwcXUZqz%2Fx7BPIrpQoNkxkxGERSWVCk0R7MyBxeh41wX2saeWlf%2FLk7Fqrh0sGWf7FYkID7Xo1%2BrE5aW5O5AFOUO4Tjm13JPO0G9PDOwC9ulL0DJbchlPqh5uqYCiAYQDl6aAeiAkYpgvezcHaz8QGvst94c0nRJMwpopMcpS%2BgGVGjK3ivkWFuRAOdEKU8us0oZ7whF7V5SOS%2Ba75UVl%2F27mJLl5%2Bf7eaTKI21AZqxJbKx5|tkp%3ABk9SR8CI-8viYQ https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/275754251403?hash=item40343bf48b:g:SDUAAOSwbWJhn2Qh&amdata=enc%3AAQAHAAAAwJ0SMUl4ja2%2B5KPRDDHwtYYhhImru4gPo%2FEOGx3KpCxu6rSYGyapKgD9KnseyAbgGeLyJu41z%2B2nhlzddpt57NIWMmqulf%2B%2BlovSiYzjjDWITgGDXDM8asBiFKZnCGGVXOGCEMiBgx1py0wdep60l5epuHZwS44ke3nGAFhzvaBKFdwQ2yRUc%2BTt9t4%2BvGqhbTNtZ%2FAPx1hDqlmV4Z%2FIMLkjJ8ZPkuBdaw6i2sn3iLcNcmszt31R5VWYYzV6WxNATw%3D%3D|tkp%3ABk9SR8CI-8viYQ https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/275756237324?hash=item40345a420c:g:QPkAAOSwhFVhtmyd&amdata=enc%3AAQAHAAAA4EBPs73YuZ2X4dTjIFDl4Us1BaY%2BMHjZS8114qnqvuKexl3w5n80Xcy73t%2BFehtsw0Gv5HEfibMrtNCZGkuD5g3xOiyi2bN1MEXy8puT7HmMTXNkwmxs6zoqkENz9sBoIitAB9DVsmgdc0VAE%2BB%2FRkcVGMjtHTTGz790Q86JECwI5ZHaUTRN%2Bw2yavZYZcQ8xQtMxM8KCzthQe05tK09IWmsFtLZDmG%2F%2Fe9ajBK6jZoKaolWHXji5sRmfxmSK2QRNoAMdnF8wZva6QOT%2BUvjBsE3Q4yCd1p2Mla7aNZGqwNP|tkp%3ABk9SR8CI-8viYQ https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/275754256619?hash=item40343c08eb:g:O78AAOSwestkGXo-&amdata=enc%3AAQAHAAAAwEue7JbYYwfwhFtzzkqMsad%2FT3R3VU%2FFhlYa1IpQiJpoGPSAwm97H3qGqmLZVWLCh8VNtEvxy1e7nksz0ncrebov8SXr2upeIWRh152%2FuXYB%2Bf81a%2BLv7NhpvkAPwdii9jPBDJn%2FuqBCS540DWbmPIo5Rj6cLgJmoBqTY6wBRo%2FmS%2BXK1H7ibhVGbH3pc8FJco0RYIPUlZCpU%2BHFf3AQQ3prKtOpMZbbD9N8%2FQI9y4n3s672nlPZsUtnyw2Lu5xN3w%3D%3D|tkp%3ABk9SR8CI-8viYQ

I didn't mind their roundwounds or the colour ones. Both felt OK, played well and lasted. What do you want for under a tenner?

Critical measurements - neck pocket, number of frets, scale. Beware of de-fretted necks - anybody with a pair of pliers and a screwdriver can butcher a fretted neck.

I would definitely contemplate it - if it were yours..
