8 string fretless with non-adjustable bridge saddles. What could go wrong?  :P

Basvarken

Well, I do think that saddle is corrected for intonation.

It's cold I Finland you are always tuning anyway.

I like these a lot!

They look cool but I didn't like the sound very much.

Nor do I

Sounds okay to me. Not distinctive in any way, not bad either.

Pilgrim

Sounds fine to me! Add a set of flats and let them mature for a year or two, and it ought to sound great.

The flats might help but for some reason I hear more high register than bass.

Basvarken

I think that has more to do with the way he plays and what he plays. Plus the way it's recorded.

Too much piezo in the mix, I believe.

Pilgrim

With a piezo, it often helps to use a preamp before the amp for an impedance change.

That might be why I hear upper harmonics on the clip.
