I have played an unlined fretless since the first time I played bass. Initially I played through all my scales with a tuner on. I eventually increased speed. Eventually my ears took over and intonation is second nature.

Not right from the start like you but I had an unlined Status S2 for about 15 years, so I understand what you're saying and playing the thing isn't the problem. Unless you're a robot, by it's nature playing fretless could never be an exact science. Isn't that what all the sliding around's about? However, there are certain mechanical aspects of the bass itself, that couldn't hurt to get as close as you can.
There is something about what you say that I don't quite get though and I'm not being rude. Since were talking about a mechanical problem that can be dealt with by a few adjustments to the bass, how is deliberately placing your fingers a little out to find the right note any kind of a solution?
