I actually want to try doing a conversion...not on an SE, I don't have the heart to do it, but I got a cheap Squier that is perfect for it.

Fretless can be a challenge on the bass. I gotta think it would be a nightmare on an electric. Whenever I need to play double stops or chords on my fretless bass, I usually watch the fret lines to protect intonation. THAT THING DOESN’T EVEN HAVE FRET LINES.
It does look really nice though.

I remember PRS making a partial fret less for the Music Is Win guy. It was a pretty cool idea.

They did..it was Paul that wanted to go half fret less. Can't remember why but it's a cool video.

Do you play it with a bow?
Seriously looks really cool and you must get some really unique sounds with it. I would love to hear somebody that knew what to do with it record some sound bites.

Cool ... I've been playing fretless for 50 years ( Bass and fiddle) it is a bit more challenging at first but the nuances gained are worth it.
I rarely play my fretted bass. Playing slide ( which I do a lot) is essentially fretless too. Don't be shy , let it fly !
