feckless fretless

["mr.monk" <monk@fuse.net>]

i know this is a topic that gets recylced every year or so, but i have 
a great fretless nylon string made by Rick Turner that plays and sounds 
great. it is true that the 6 string is in danger of sounding like a 
fretless bass, but that has more to do with the phrasing than the 
instrument (although the sustain makes it more tempting i guess) an 
oud's an oud and a fretless nylon string guitar is ....well, you can do 
the math...
