   I've always been able to tell a fretless instrument, usually a bass because   
   that is the most common fretless instrument, by it's off-key sound,   
   particularly during a solo, but for some weird reason, that seems to be   
   somehow accepted - but then Fender came along with their fretted bass guitar   
   which made playing with 'Precision' a reality.

   Probably because of the Dumbed-Down nomenclature, i.e. "P" bass, or "J" bass   
   for the  Jazz model.

   I've never seen that one, but with the three bears, one of the beds was   
   'just right' ;)

   For subs, 'mid' size is already pretty big...and heavy.
