They should have taken a tip from YouTube players: if you want people to know you're playing fretless, play out of tune.

Non P bass owner thinking of getting P bass...
Ricky Rioli replied to JohnFitzgerald's topic in Bass Guitars

The G&L p-bass, the LB-100, is £450, £50 less than that Bass Centre model https://www.andertons.co.uk/brands/gl-guitars/g-l-tribute-lb-100-bass-in-olympic-white-3-ply-black-pickguard-vintage-tint-gloss-neck-with-brazilian-cherry-fingerboard -

Beatles cover, though? (not that this was the first recording of it either)

While this thread has a clear winner, this Candi Staton version is an ever more clear second place. Please do listen, if you aren't heartily sick of the song by now.
