However, I just ordered my first 5-string bass today, so it will be my last piece of gear, guitar or otherwise, for 2023.
It's an Ibanez Ergodyne EDA-905F - 5-string, fretless, silver, from around 2000. Has one magnetic pickup, and Fishman piezo bridge that can be blended, should get the upright bass sound with the piezos.Which 5 string?
Sounds like first rigtalk item of ‘24

I haven't had a fretless in several years, last was a 4-string, and I still have a couple of fretted 4-strings.
Edit: I've been thinking about a fretless for awhile, not finding anything I liked at a price I liked, until now.
I always like the sound, feel and expressiveness of a fretless. Just difficult to find in a brand, model, features etc. at a price I want to pay.Man I’ve always wanted to try fretless, Grats ?
That’s hawt!!!!This was too good to pass up and somewhat local to me.

It plays amazing. Been my main axe since I got it. I put some stickers on the fretboard because I’m too much of a stooge to play without fret markers. LolThat’s hawt!!!!
