Good looking fretless.

indeed.  probably medium scale.  not priced too aggressively (imho.  ymmv.  and all that rot).  nice detailed description.  i think fretless scares a lot of people and so GC prices them accordingly.  my first fretless was a brand new bocate top essence GC orphan that hung in the store a good coupla years before i came along.  bought her cousin (brand new matching bocate top 5-string europa) about a year later from the same store.  pretty sure those days are long gone.  i miss those basses :-(

Gotta love the description: "This product comes with a case"

I remember a  listing for a guitar in the local Pennysaver back in the 70s that made one of the selling points that it had been "recently tuned".
