The only thing i can say to You is "talk You on fretless".
Otherwise the best way is if You have at least one good fretted and fretless bass available. I like fretted 4 and fretless 5 type, about brand and model - You must decide yourself.
About those top lists. The main important thing is who mades them. There could be 25 different lists made by "bass specialists" all around the world and all of them may differ at 99%. Finally we are here to have fun and each have it's 1#bassist, to enjoy listening and learning from, so no sense of those lists.
Yeah, i am not the super fan of reggea, but each time i hear it on radio i feel good and satisfied. Also reggea is one of the music generes that some how makes me feel lucky and more satisfied of the current situation. It's fantastic.
Vintage and trophey is near at anything, but not at musical instruments. There could be better sounding vintage jbass or p or new ones, the same for the price. I think it's all in eyes, hear and standart. All is in your heart, joy and happiness.
