SOLD Godin A4 Fretless for sale

For Sale, a Godin A4 Fretless.  I bought it a couple of years ago and although I like playing fretless I can't get on with the lines, despite what Scott D says.  They confuse me.  It's only been used to play a couple of songs in a charity event so has had minimal playing whilst in my possession.  I bought it as a bass that would sound like an upright and it hasn't disappointed on sound.  It is a pleasant bass to play and I would be keeping it if it didn't have the lines.  I have enquired after a new neck or replacing the fingerboard but this would be too costly.  

It is about 20 years old I believe and is not like the current models with the XLR midi output and the pickup along the top of the E-String.  It weighs 8.3lbs.  It comes with the original case which has a few scuffs.  Stan the dog is not included.  It is currently wearing Rotosound flats.

it has a couple of discolourations on the body which I have shown in the pictures. 

I'm open to delivery if you pay for the fuel (within reason) or could ship at your expense.

No trades as I will have to sell another one.  You know the score

Lovely looking bass. I must admit, I usually like the look of Godin basses, and this one is no exception :)

Re the fretmarker lines - I've got very fine ones on my MIJ Jazz, and it took a little persistence, but I'm used to them. That said, they're quite fine and dark - so they don't immediately catch the eye - perhaps they give me enough clues / indicators, without distracting me?

Is there any way you could "dull them down"? - perhaps with staining? Would that help?
Shame to sell such a nice bass

I've not tried anything on the bass, my luthier skills are rubbish and I'm frightened I'd damage it.  It is a nice bass.  I went to Gear4Music and tried an upright.  I didn't buy it which is a good job as Mrs Publico said "under no circumstances are we having a double bass in this house, I would rather you spend £2k on a fretless"  After 40 years together I knew the consequences of taking option 2 so I didn't.
