For me, it was instant love at first . . . sound? I didn't even have to pull it off the hook that it was hanging on to tell that I HAD to have that bass. I ran my finger down the string and the sound that came back to me was awesome. Is it harder? Yes. But then again, when most of the time we are re...

You forgot to mention the guitar player/teacher who picks up the fretless and slides into home on every note and shakes his hand violently to make some half-hearted attempt at vibrato and THEN classifies himself as an expert. I had one guy set up my fretless when I first got started (big mistake and...

I feel your disdain for the fretlines. They really hinder your performance unless you NEVER look at the neck which has to happen every now and then and oh, doesn't it just distract the crap out of you when you realize that you aren't right on the line?
