The easiest way would be to put a bridge with piezo saddles AND a buffer preamp for the piezos, so around £300 to £1000 GBP depending the brand of piezos and buffer preamp...

If the built-in tuner is mandatory, then the choice is very narrow, TC Electronic or Peavey in the 3 combos below : https://www.thomann.de/gb/solid_state_bass_combos.html?price-first=0&filter=true&manufacturer[]=TC Electronic&manufacturer[]=Peavey&feature-46931[]=1x 15"&feature-46931[]=2x 10" For the price these retail, my advice would be to buy it new.

The colour is not right, it should be one of that typical Fender blue toilet seat. 🤣

Why not buy the real thing ? https://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/PBassTFflBlkd1--fender-tony-franklin-fretless-precision-bass-black Or in two parts : https://www.ebay.com/itm/2018-USA-Fender-Tony-Franklin-Precision-P-Jazz-Bass-LOADED-BODY-Nitro-Black/142882553056?hash=item214476bce0:g:Pl4AAOSwf31bWJeU https://www.ebay.com/itm/Fender-USA-Tony-Franklin-Precision-Fretless-Precision-P-BASS-NECK-TUNERS-Ebony/362396289171?hash=item5460808893:g:pFEAAOSwrVRbWJeg

Gorgeous instrument. Don't worry for your intonation, use your open strings and harmonics as these are a fixed reference. It helps a lot. Use a tuner too so you'll see if you are in tune. Didn't I tell you about these Shuker ? They are just wonderful instruments. Congratulations and as I always say : no frets, no limits ! 👍

Especially for me. 🤣

Yes, well done Eddie. 👍

Quite the same story for me guys. So see you in the shed too, with my real name there.

Just like this thread has opened again the debate for the gender of the bass, which is neutral like any animal or a baby, even if the latter does not play a six strings bass guitar.

And don't think about what it's doing in your intestine. 🤔

Simply because of the magazine Esquire and to avoid another trial like the one for the Telecaster which was named at first Broadcaster, but Gretsch had a drum set named Broadkaster, hence the low profile which is the best Leo has ever had. So the Squire became Squier, and that's the end of the story or the beginning.

And this a Plek machine... 😂 🤣 😆

2 nights to sleep, then !

Congratulations, I've seen that the bass is sold. You now own a superb fretless bass. Don't be afraid to play it, the more you'll play, the better you'll sound. 👍

Put some cotton gloves on.

I started my first course yesterday evening, the only one about fretless, and went to the third of it. Being a fretless bass player for over 30 years and devoted to 6 strings basses, I knew everything Steve LAWSON was talking about, but merely put it into practice. Then after that I started to use what I've seen with my bass and ended up playing around an hour or more (after having closed my practice log) using all my right hand fingers, which I never did before and it became clear and easy to me. Funny, no ? That said, being hyper structured, I hated the old web site which was a total mess. The new one is way much... structured. And being a self taught player myself, what I like is the fact that I can learn my way, so attending an entire course step-by-step and repeating the hard places by simply pressing pause, go back to the difficult point, and start over and over if necessary and still having the same quality level of teaching because it's recorded. Try this with a teacher, he'll certainly loose patience and will not have the same approach when starting back where you stopped, if he even remembers what you were doing... So I like it and the next step will be learning back some theory, which I certainly already know, but as I said in my SBL introduction, I need to sum up all my knowledge. And it seems to work.

I've just subscribed, even if I went into the 14 days trial last year and stopped after a few days because of the mess on the web site. Looks way far better now. Anyway, I have 30 days to decide...
