You don't ask for much, eh Jeff?jps wrote:I could go for a fretless 4004 as well. Make mine a Laredo in non-yellowing metallic white with a ziricote fingerboard ) side dots, only at 3, 5, 7, 9, 12, 15, 17, 19 and 21st positions (no fingerboard dots, thanks), and the bridge pickup in the further back, mid '00s position and VVT control harness.

I don't see mention of a RIHS on jps' idea of a 4004 FL.
The kitchen sink isn't free, is it?

That's sad
I'm glad I have my 3 RIC fretless bassses (2 with me, one back east). I've owned a Fender Fretless Precision, and currently have the Fender Jaco Fretless, and I can say without a doubt that all 3 of my fretless RICS are superior in terms of playability to either Fender model, which is what it's all about. Also, with tapewound strings (GHS), they sound as close to an upright as I can get, which is perfect for jazz, which has been my main emphasis for over 35 years.

I like Joey's idea; I'd buy one. ... and play it. 
There is no reason to ever be bored.
...why yes, I suppose I do have a double bound guitar fetish...

Similar to what Jeff said, I'd like side dots at the; 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 12, 15, 17, 19 and 21st positions, exactly where the frets would have been. The dots being where they are on the front of the fingerboard is pure fretless RIC vibe, so I'd want them also. I'll stick with the Caribbean Rosewood fingerboard. I think they look great.
