That's one of the things that still gets me to this day.. Since my band broke up 3 years ago most of my playing is done on a super cheap, yet still playable, 5 string fretless that is basically my beater/grunt bass. I get used to that thing then go down to my studio every so often and pull my fretless 4 string Smith out of the case, play about 2-5 notes, then proceed to curl up in the fetal position and cry over how awesomely amazing the thing feels and sounds. The contrast is shocking.
