End of the day, as the OP himself often says, nobody is paying much attention to the bass. You can get away with a fair bit. Worse case scenario, lay it on thick with a Chorus effect.
The Pastorius chorus sound was a short delay, blended with the direct signal. As vibrato is applied, the wet and dry signals beat against each other, creating the detuned effect.
It’s now entombed in copper tape and it’s blimmin silent - nary a squeak out of it!
Always interested to hear how folks take to the fretless world.

You may be beginning to understand why I regard all complex onboard electronics like this - whether it's for bass, acoustic guitar, electric guitar or anything - as the work of Satan. These types of systems give me more headaches than almost any other type of repair.
I know there are sound possibilities which are difficult or impossible to achieve any other way, but it's just not worth the hassle, for me.

I have had discussions with a preeminent Preamp builder who is hopefully going to come up with a solution - it’s taking a while but I think ultimately there is a rock solid solution possible.
