		<description><![CDATA[Lots of the newer bassists who come to chat end up asking about fretless. I was interested in fretless bass from the earliest days of my playing. Partly because of the Jaco influence, but also because when I started playing there were a number of bands in vogue that featured fretless (Japan, Paul Simon, The [...]]]></description>

The range has its own dedicated website: www.expatnjs.com. I&#8217;ve been a long term Elrick user, so I was particularly eager to check out where Rob Elrick is headed with this range.
