I appreciate your insight. I have two fretless basses coming: a Sire U5 next month (7-9 weeks after ordering) and a Marcustico next January or February (280 days after receipt of my deposit). I only play short scale basses now and already have a fretted U5, but wanted a fretless bass to work on technique before my Marcustico arrives. After watching your video, I'm even happier that I ordered the fretless U5. I live on the southwest coast of France, an easy one day drive to Joaquin Marco's workshop. I hope to be able to pick my Marcustico up in person when it's ready. FYI, the Marcustico is a short scale bass, but uses standard 34" scale tapewound strings. Joaquin has settled on D'Addario ETB92 tapewounds and is shipping all new Marcusticos strung with them. At my age, I don't get excited by much, but I am totally jazzed (pun intended) waiting for Joaquin to finish mine!
