No need to remove it, just joshin'. :) But I do appreciate credit. That's become a lost courtesy in the Internet age. :)

Thanks Paul. Hopefully a small promotion for the book as well, where Fretless fans are concerned!... :wink:

Wints, your's is one of eight FLs featured in the book; your's is a 4001FL, I have another 4001FL shown, and I have a very nice 4003FL. Now, the other five are not these official FL models, yet they were made in the factory as fretless!!! That is why I don't treat fretless Ricks as separate models -- fretless is more of a feature that could be added (potentially) to any model. The other fretlesses illustrated are:

4000
4001S
4002
4003S
3001
