28 inch scale fretless with piezo. Simple neck through with a heel. First long scale fretless I have made and the best fretless I have made.Good enough, that I am considering adding frets. But I do need at least one fretless around. Hmm.

    Maddog, I do like shorter scales, except for fretless.   On fretless, my sloppy play needs the extra leeway the long scale gives.   Ted, I am no expert at all on what strings for longer scales.  I will message you with the strings I most always use.

    Thanks for the kind words, guys.   I should have said, it has a sound hole on the player's side.

    Nice job Uncle John.  You could always make a copy of it with frets on :-)

    Good lookin' fretless John! Looooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooong scale for your taste ain't it???   ;-)

    28" scale...very cool...Uncle John, what gauge strings do you use on it? I am really wanting to build a short scale 3 string bass or something close to it...and 28" that's getting very close. Nice build.!!

    Well, it is a fretless if you do not touch the frets...
