Due to the new courier regulations, some destinations are no more possible. Check the list or ask to be sure as I have another courier option, but you know these regulations are changing all the time... -
In French, we have a saying for that : Les grands esprits se rencontrent. 😉

I never liked the cheap version of the Gary Willis, sounding dull to me. The natural one has the real Bartolini pickup and electronics and sounds very good, a bit too narrow on the bridge for me and still missing that extra string. That said, you can order it and send it back if you don't like it. 😉

This was my very first 5 strings bass, in black, bought new at the local store without knowing it had a low B. So once home, I decided to tune it in E, you know what kind of idiot you can be sometimes (or most of the time) and the G broke when I tried to tune it to C. I went to the store the next morning as I was working 50 meters away, but double ball strings were very rare at the time and a 5 strings set even rarer. They had to order the set : in 1989 there was no internet store... so I had to wait for a month. I called the only luthier I knew who was Christophe LEDUC and he said he had some, went to him and had the bass completely set up in the meantime. It was a totally different instrument after that, with good strings and a very good setup. That's with this bass that I learnt to mute the unused strings. So, yes there were some Hohner The Jack V with neck-trough and active electronics. I kept it until I bought my fretless... I think you have trouble to find one because its name is The Jack Bass Custom ! Exactly the same as this one :

Great lesson, concise and clear, better than ... won't say it.

Did it belong to the invisible man ? 😁

Russ, the American ones are reversible. 😉 -
I also owned this original 1970 Ampeg Dan Armstrong see-through fretless, pictured on the office floor in our previous home :

The other ones are here. That said, you should have a 6 strings fretless bass, that's way better. 🤣

Here is a selection in your price tag, Harry. I think the second one will attract you, don't know why 😁 : https://www.zikinf.com/annonces/dispannonce.php?annonce=1410363 https://www.zikinf.com/annonces/dispannonce.php?annonce=1581266 https://www.zikinf.com/annonces/dispannonce.php?annonce=1617055 https://www.zikinf.com/annonces/dispannonce.php?annonce=1613816

Or this beauty, as I already owned 2 Delta Metal fretless Vigier, the LeFay Remington Steele, but with 6 strings :

Yes @TrevorR, I know the place in Vosselaar, it's the Belgian metal church. I've seen one or two or maybe three concerts there in the late 90's early 2000's. I know the owner is called Bob, but I have no idea what the Bie means... That said it's because of Randy Coven and loop listening of "Funk me tender" that I had a beautiful Kramer DMZ 4001 slaughtered to receive a Kahler bass tremolo... In fact it wasn't slaughtered at all as the job had been wonderfully done by the greatest French luthier Christophe LEDUC.

Well done.

The B-Quad and the MidiBase are real rarities too. Brian Bromberg and Alain caron wouldn't say the opposite. 😉

Thanks for the compliment, but there is no opposition in the terms I used in my sentence, nor anything inconceivable. Or maybe, is it just the thread title itself that you consider an oxymoron.

Traded some light items for a heavy bulky one from Armando. Every aspect of this trade was a pleasure, Armando being a very kind man. I almost received that big heavy box before he shipped it from deep South of Italy to deep South of Belgium. The Monster Cookie was very well packed and as described. Another credit to BassChat. Don't over abuse of the sound of the bells, Armando (private joke 🤣 )

To me, yes. But that's up to the OP.

I read my sentence again and think it's been misinterpreted. I should have added : "than the one you mentioned" to "player".

I'm basically a fretless only player and have been for at least 2 decades a fretless only player, so I'm interested in fretless whatever style it is. And I'm no fretted bass player, I even can say that I'm not liking playing fretted instruments. I listen to any kind of music as long as it's music, and metal is music. It's not an odd position at all, but to me, the only fretless player in metal is Steve Di Giorgio who is almost unknown outside the metal nor fretless world. His playing is, to me, hallucinating, but burried in the mix, very strange for the guy who almost invented the death metal genre !?! Playing fretless on a tune or two doesn't make you a fretless player as, most of the time, you are playing just what you played on a fretted bass on a fretless. In your list, you can add Svante HENRYSON who is basically a fretless player, but played fretted bass because of the music he was in. He is also a terrific double bass player. And what about Jack BRUCE who has been playing fretless metal bass even before the genre was ever named...

That's way I wrote hard rock and not metal, Harry.
