Make that five now, Ilan; oh yes, and there's another one attached to a body over here too...

For sure. But what I meant was why is everybody selling them? To replace them with fretted necks?

Fender were almost the only ones making maple board fretless basses. Maybe it wasn't such a good idea. But they do look special. And then there were Sting and Boz Burrell and JPJ.

I love 'em.  But those prices are fantasy island.

 Silly money way more than I paid for mine. The one wants what a whole bass should be going for just for the neck! :o

That sure is pretty, but I'll bet it's a heavy sunofagun.

I have a fretted one and, yes, it's a tad on the heavy side. I've never weighed it but it's up there.
