And if you don't mind, I'm going to make a list of pros, cons, and questions:
Pros: Good reviews, good price (about $300 street?), I have leftover pickups & bridge if upgrades needed, and it's Christmas!
Cons: Do I really need another fretless? Will I be satisfied with a cheapie bass, since my tastes usually run at least MIJ if not vintage? Will the cheaper woods & artificial fingerboard be an issue?
Questions: Where are the side dot markers? Since it's lined they might be in the "normal" spots - will this be an issue?
