Description from the seller

FRETLESS !!!
Like all instruments in the A-series, the A4 features multiple resonant chambers carved into the body from American basswood. The top is solid spruce. The neck is maple and bolted. The fretboard is made of Richlite, a composite material that replaces ebony. The fretboard radius is 12 inches and the scale length is 34 inches.

The Godin A4 fretless basses produce a sound reminiscent of the acoustic double bass, but offer the advantage of being lighter and less heavy. The dual acoustic chamber design, characteristic of Godin’s A-series instruments (guitars, etc.), has also been applied to the A4 basses.
This design eliminates the risk of feedback and minimizes damage to the soundboard caused by high stage volumes.
Vibrations of the solid cedar top are also controlled by a reinforcement system similar to that of a cello.
It’s a Jazz Bass neck, so very round and not very wide. After playing, you get the odd feeling that the scale length is longer (and yet it’s really 34 inches).
The higher frets are easy to reach, no big heel.
The shape is relatively simple; I only play it seated, and it’s incredibly comfortable to play!
Okay, it’s a bit heavy, but I think most people who use it will be playing it seated...
Strap button so you can move around.

Similar version - this one has a thumb rest - the one sold is not and is black! https://youtu.be/0raxU7vrEP4
