Hey, sorry I missed you!  It is a nice bass, I think the fretless neck is perfect for it.  I'm glad you enjoyed it!  I thought about stopping by your house, but I had to get home and get back to work on a project for the NY State Office of Professional Medical Conduct.  Ask me to tell you sometime about some of the stupid, illegal things doctors do!

I have to say it is a very well made bass, not quite my cup of tea but it sure is purty.

One thing you have to get used too with this piezo- and nano-stuff: Dig in too hard and tone will actually deteriorate. Being not loud enough in the mix and then playing harder for it is a lost cause with these basses.

Thanks for the info Uwe.  I really do like it.  The sound is unique, so that does make it worth the money.  I figure I can always make a fretted neck if I ever want one.  Not too much of a problem playing it and gettnig lost inthe mix.  It will be awhile before I play this out in public.  I need practice!!!!!

Thanks Al.  I htink the natural finish shows off the flames better than the black.  They had a black, but I liked this one better.
