A rarity at this price, a 5 string acoustic fretless bass!
Several years back, I was looking to get an acoustic fretless bass. Preferably with 5 strings, as not only did I want to explore the world of fretless, but also extended range, so it was a real venture into the unknown, buying this bass. It was a fraction of the price of any other fretless acoustic, and had that 5th string as well, so it was perfect as a starter instrument venturing into fretless and extended range! And it's certainly a looker, one of the most beautiful and flawless guitars I've ever owned!
I eventually did sell it, as it was really massive and took up a lot of space in my apartment. I found short scale to be better for my needs (especially on a fretless), and barely used the 5th string, so eventually replaced it with something smaller. Still, it was a great introduction to fretless bass, which has become an important component in my music now!
