Make no mistake this bass is absolutely magnificent. Bought very recently on a whim,  I have to admit that fretless basses are not for me as the possibility of intonating correctly whilst trying to cope with recently diagnosed hearing damage which is unfortunately permanent, is highly unlikely. 
I believe the instrument was originally made in 1986 and was refinished completely by Jaydee not long ago as it was in bad shape cosmetically. It pretty much looks like a NOS instrument now with no visible marks except for a few light scuffs on the control plate. The bass plays very well with the typical fretless mwah that one would expect.It sits around the 9 pound mark so isn’t at all heavy and balances well on a decent strap. 
 

I have searched around and I can’t find many of these for sale, even if there were I doubt you would find anything so pristine.  It comes with a Thomann hard case which is functional but since I have no packaging collection in person or a meet up is the best option should you want to adopt this lovely thing. 
 

I would prefer a straight sale, however a Wilcock Mullarkey, Serek Midwestern or a nice lightweight 5 string might be tempting. 
 

Thank you.
