This trope isn't too uncommon, but I don't know how often other people think of it.

    Back in high school I got a fretless j-bass for this reason. Steve Di Giorgio's work with Death left an impression on teenage me.

    They just sound better and are more fun to play. Also I was in orchestra as a kid and playing without frets is a flex.
