acoustic bass, hey Doff?
I always found those to be intriguing; but ultimately not loud enough.

You play them for a different reason than acoustic guitar. Most times, they'd be plugged in to be loud enough. But the tone, and range of sounds is completely different from either an upright or electric.
good stuff.
makes me want to dig the electric out.
I had so much fun when I rented a stand up for a month. (pretty cheap to do)
I had played the cello for years when I was younger, so I got comfy with the double bass pretty quick and it was a hoot.

My cousins wife started a band, got some great local musicians together. Thought y’all might enjoy a taste.
no
i mean, they are good. But they have a very particular sound, and suit a style that is not at all how i play
Was talking to the bee. So you are not like me and Brian who listen to the lovely tunes of heaven thrash death metal?

Dunno about tube mods, but the ol Reo mini 14500 works great with the nic salts!
why would you use a fretless for that?
i do listen to that stuff, and can't think of a bassist who plays fretless for death metal
but i don't play that stuff, it is boring to play
you know what's funny (or not really, and also not particularly interesting either) . . .
I'm kin'a spoiled/biased about that.
Electric guitar and bass are played in a truly stupid position (ergonomically, I mean).
I can really get into fretless when the neck of the instrument is vertical, my elbow is in good position, and thusly my wrist, and then the fingering is basically truly perpendicular to the fretboard.
Slung low and sideways, it's just way too awkward and I thank god for the frets so that I can just land somewhere in the area code of the notes I want to play.
When I played acoustic guitar, I would compose and play in proper classical seated position, and then my finn'ers could do like they were supposed to do.
If/when I play electric guit or bass, I don't play the same music or the same style.
I have much respect for those who can play electric fretless bass
