Well crap! Now I'm going to have to have a fretless!

After having the Dean Pace EUB for a few weeks now, I have decided that I must have a regular fretless electric bass. Man, it's really addictive. I'm having a lot of fun playing fretless upright but now I would like a regular electric bass with a fretless neck to try.

I know the feeling - really...

I recently got very interested in fretless bass. Mostly it was hearing songs that were blatantly "fretless" bass that got me curious. Then I spent some time fooling around with one and loved it...

The a few months ago I start hangin' around here and get caught-up in all this "Bongo Lust" and start thinking "Well crap, now I'm going to have to have a Bongo".

Killed two birds with one stone (figuratively speaking, of course)...

Buttercream Bongo fretless on the way!

Are you already giving up on the SR5 that you got at the Dallas Guitar Show?

I am just not sure if me and fivers are meant to be, which breaks my heart because I love that color. Rest assured I do love fretless and musicmans though. Part of my problem is that the neck on my Reverend is so nice, it spoils me. However, I do know that I find the neck on a Sterling to be close to the next best thing.

Yes, I've also decided to take the plunge. I am getting a Sterling unlined fretless with a Piezo bridge. What happened is, about a year ago I bought a MIM Jazz fretless. And while the tone was cool, it was really a one trick pony. So, I waited till I came across this Sterling and now I can't resist. I will post photos as soon as I get it.

Have played fretless since I fist started playing - about 20 years ago now. Would not change for anyone.
Hell if Les Claypool can do all that stuff on a six fretless who am I to argue.
