Fretless is hard unless you have recevied training in the spacing required to hit the right notes. It is that simple. It is also hard ot get the same sort of sounds you hear on records if you are playing fretless bass becasue almost everyone uses fretted basses.
I didn't say I played a Les Paul fretless. It was some sort of Fender that I borrowed when I wanted to look cool like Zappa.

The spacing is the issue, but if one practiced on a fretted guitar one could guess the spacing after a while.
