I wouldn't worry too much if it does have lines - or simply dots on the side - you don't have to look at them, and they're not actually quite accurate enough anyway, you still have to learn to listen as you play.
I don't use my fretless to sound like the 80s - despite it being made then, in fact it's one of the most classic of all 80s bass, an Aria SB - I more often use it for synthy sounds with lots of effects, which if anything means that you need to be very accurate with pitch, as well as being able to do big swoopy stuff that you just can't on a fretted one.
And make sure you get flatwound strings - regardless of Jaco Pastorius. Remember that he had to keep coating his fingerboard with epoxy varnish to stop the roundwound strings chewing it up...

Time to lift the potatoes from the ruts in the fingerboard of my factory fretless Fender Precision Bass.
I exaggerate for comic effect … but only slightly.
Miss 1 day of practice and I notice
Miss 2 days and the band notices
Miss 3 and the audience notices.
If you really want roundwound sound then half-wounds / pressurewounds / groundwounds do far less damage. DR Sunbeams have a very small diameter wrapwire too - they are popular on fretless for that reason.
Or get a Status neck / bass and just don't worry about it at all.
Still - the bass the OP already has is effectively a Stingray (with an extra jazz pickup). One of the better Ray tributes.
So I'd suggest a Precision.

Even unplugged, this example does the Jaco/Pino neeeooinggg. Either I got lucky or all Yamaha bass guitars are this well made.
I bought a cheap fretless Harley Benton many years ago. The dots were in the wrong places! They were spaced for a fretted bass. I added lines to the fretboard myself.
From a luthier’s perspective, an unmarked fingerboard is easier to plane.
