I've got a fretless bass, and that alone is pretty tough. Does anyone know who this was built for? and WHY?

Godin do an even more bizarre production instrument called a Glissentar, which is an eleven-string fretless nylon electro. Very popular for middle-eastern music apparently. moody, p.i.

Chet played a Gibson nylon string fretless guitar on a tune (Summertime) and it was very cool. I don't remember hearing it on anything else.
