I have been wanting to get my hands on a fretless bass for awhile and finally got the gumption (and money) to go and look for one. Well, me being the frugal consumer I went looking on ebay. Right now I have two that I really can't decide about. I know that quite a few of you guys are knowledgable about musical instruments and maybe you could give me your opinion.

Both of these guitars have basically what I'm looking for:
Fretless with Fret lines
Dot markers along the neck
Under 300$

Here's #1
Ibanez SR300DXF (http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=7342767183&rd=1&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWA%3AIT&rd=1)

Here's #2
SX Fretless Bass (http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=7342975952&rd=1&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWA%3AIT&rd=1)

I don't think this is breaking forums rules.

Any input is appreciated.

The ibanez is probably a better choice between these two. This one is red but black is available.

It is marked at 279 USD but it comes with the full warranty. It is the same one as listed at ebay. Plus you get a 30 or 45 day money back gurantee. If you don't like it, return it for a full refund.

Good luck in your search.

I had an ibanez fretless for years and it was great. I vote for the Ibanez :)

So did I! I was going to say, "Am I the only one who thought this was about anything other than guitars?" but I figured I was the only one ;D
