Yesterday my friend Rafael Espanol let me try his Rondo fretless bass guitar. I liked it. So today I went over to Guitar Center in Gilroy and ordered a fretless Fender Jazz Bass. I should have it in my hot little hands in a couple of days. My wife will complain, but all progress involves some pain. An hour or two of nagging is a small price to pay for a $650 Fender bass.
The biggest advantage of a fretless bass guitar: no fret noise. No making that awful boink sound when your finger hits a fret by mistake. I would rather be a tad sharp or flat when stretching for a note than to hit a fret and make that awful noise.
My bass will look exactly like the one on the left.
