You'd have a manually operated pitch approximator.

I have an Ironwood Stick made fretless. Not for the timid.

Frets are like bras, you need something to hold those notes in place. :?

Before you go investing your hard earned money,

Haha the way I play, that's all I have now anyway. Just ordered a 12-string Grand railboard, gunmetal. Cant wait to get close to note values on that.
