I'm a long time guitarist and although I've played bass before, this is the first I've owned. I decided I wanted a fretless because of the flexibility it offers. This is a perfect place to start. The finger guides on the side of the neck are perfectly marked and it came set up fairly well. I only had to tune it a little. It's very lightweight, in fact, I have regular guitars that are heavier and I was surprised at how light it was. It also feels solid and smooth. I was able to play a few popular bass riffs within minutes and although there are no frets I found it very easy to play the right notes. I plugged it in and played with the tuners a little. I was able to go anywhere from a really fat smooth sound to a melodic popping sound without trouble and with no effects or adjustments on the amp. I was playing Schism by Tool and was able to match the sound with just the tuning knobs and the stock pickups which was pretty impressive to me.
I couldn't recommend this bass enough. It's super smooth and sounds great and is perfect for a beginner or an expert. I wouldn't hesitate to bring this to a gig and even feel like I could show off with it a little since it sounds and plays so awesome but is way more affordable than other basses that cost twice as much or more. I did test out a few others from the bigger brands at the guitar shop and honestly, this plays and sounds better. I have no trouble hitting all the notes perfectly and get the same sounds as a fretted bass when I want but also can do cool techniques like sliding artificial harmonics which is impossible on a fretted instrument.
I did have a little problem with mine when it arrived today. There's a little bit of damage on the fingerboard where it's like a paper thin piece of the wood is lifting off and there's a crack which is a little sharp. But I contacted Amazon and a replacement is already on its way I just have to drop this one off at a UPS store within the next 30 days. So great customer service. I'm hoping the next one is in perfect condition because I love it so much. I don't think I'll ever find a reason to upgrade in the future either unless something breaks on it or the pickups die which I think is unlikely. I expect this will last me a long time.
