I think I need to visit a guitar store.
Thanks again
My Godin A5 has been described by several people as the best sounding fretless bass they have ever played, solid bodied included.
they are perfect for practice and composing.
As ICBM rightly says, use your regular string choice- I use DR HiBeams which bring out the full tonal palette. Playing over the fingerboard makes for a great DB like sound.
And of course, no faff with an amp etc.
Overall, functionally useless, but you should get one.
And astoundingly good quality for the price. But it was just too big for me, and a huge pain to transport, partly because of the size and partly because the supplied gig bag (at least it did come with one, although 'cover' is more accurate) was too flimsy so I had to be super careful with it, unlike the ones for my electric basses or even the bag for my little uke bass. The neck was so long that even with the strap tied around the headstock it was difficult for me to reach the first position without simultaneously pushing the body to the right.
At the end of the day the amplified sound was so close to the uke bass for most practical purposes that I didn't see the point in having something that size to do effectively the same job - so somewhat reluctantly I sold it. I would definitely recommend one for both playability and sound quality to someone taller though - especially if you don't have to take it anywhere.
