Earlier in this thread there was talk of slapping on fretless. Whilst listening to a live version of Go West’s Missing Persons, I went down a Graham Edwards rabbit hole and found this…

 

 

That's pretty awesome!

I thought so. I was surprised to find that that was an Ibanez bass, listening to Missing Persons I immediately thought it was a Wal (still could be of course) but this sounds much the same to my cloth ears.

Bought my first fretless in 1978 - still have it today. Others have come and gone in the meantime.

Most gigs unless it's a cutdown set for whatever reason I will have a fretted and a fretless bass with me. I like the contrast in tone and the audiences usually like it too.

This is the current three and most unlikely to change now.

is that an unlined fretless L2?
