I'm in the same situation, 54 yrs on fender bass, 3 on upright. SO, I went looking for one of these but I think they're out of production. I also looked at safran bass etc....I ended up with an Ibanez srh500F, which while not exactly an upright tone, it sure sounds good in a jazz band when you can't or don't haul your upright. They are also extremely well made, albeit w/ that skinny depth Ibanez neck, very nice looking, light, fully adjustable bridge w/ piezo, and only $7-800 brand new...it's a steal frankly. I did a showcase yesterday and there were 2 other fretless acoustic players there on a godin A4 ($2G) and a citroen 4 steve swallow (10G) and many commented on how much better the Ibanez sounded.

I own 2 for venue size: mb115II and 112II. Best tone stack ever designed, and I've had them all, passive I believe. GK is designed and assembled in USA. Fan super quiet. The early mb series combos have ceramic magnet speakers, the cabs project well, and the combos are light. The new combos aren't the same: neo speakers, tone stack is not same it's now like everyone else, they caved to trends. Bad move imo.
