Hi All, The main things on my wish list are a something with a passive P/J config, and a fretless. Re the former, I was impressed playing a Yamaha BB424 recently, and was dismayed to see that apparently they don't do a fretless version. However, I've seen some positive noise re. the RBX170, which is available fretless, and at about 1/2 the price of the BB424 I'm tempted to otrder one online unseen. Any other recommendations for a fretless in the sub-£500 bracket? My preferences are for passive and traditional styling, but they're not cast in stone. Cheers! Richard

Hello everyone! I'm a bewildered bassist stumbling back into the fray after a l-o-n-g layoff. Since I last played, I sold most of my gear :-(, but we now have the Internet, so I can spend hours browsing bass porn. Expect posts on maple vs. rosewood, fretless lined vs. unlined, 4 vs. 5 etc. etc., and how does a middle-aged guy with family commitments find a satisfying playing experience. Cheers Richard
