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!

Sehr schön, Bill, now we have two!

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.
