Have one. It has warts (bridge base is slightly bent), but nothing that hampers playability. The phat neck is on a four string the same as on a five string, but what it taketh in hand comfort it giveth in sustain and thud a multitude of times, there is no free lunch. You wouldn't complain about (your own) man's best friend feeling too large in your hand either, right?
The bass gives amazing value for money IMHO.
The pups sound natural and balanced without sounding boring if that makes sense. Do they sound like no other? No, they just sound well with an unexpected amount of bass for a a passive set-up while retaining clarity and midrange. If you don't like the sound of these pups, you probably don't like how basses sound either, period.
I do like the shape, very Japanese. Reminds me of the Suzuki Katanas that took the motorcycle world by storm in the early eighties.
Even though, ironically, the Katana (Japanese for "sword") was actually a German design by Hans Muth showing that true old Axis Power love never dies!
I'm generally no friend of "flight deck" fretboards, but the Lace I dig out often enough because the bass is just fun to play. And the neck is not only wide, but also bulky which I prefer to wide and flat necks.
