Am I the only one that is thinking this? or am tracking with a few others out there?

As I look at the Big Al I keep thinking that it could very well be the best fretless bass out of the rest of the MM bass bunch.

I'm begining to come to the conclusion that single coils really are better for fretless. And I know it's all opinion and preference. But we all seem to come back to mentioning "Jaco" every time someone starts talking about a fretless bass. And to a certain degree I really dig that kind of sound. If at all because it's just that unique and warm.

I haven't heard the Big Al yet and for all I know, it may not be the best of the bunch as a fretless. So I don't know jack other than this impression that with the nylon coated La Bella's I favor, maybe it's this Bass over the double HH fretless Sterling I have.

Any one else share the same thoughts?:confused:
