I purchased this bass from one of my friends a few years back and decided I had to have a fretless. I've played it only a handful of times, and have found out I am a fretted man. Here are the gritty details:
Made in Japan, Deluxe model with Active preamp (3 band EQ, blend/vol.,), mahogany finish, brass hardware, stock P-Bass pickup upgraded to Seymour Duncan Basslines Quarter Pound P-bass pickup (I
believe to be the SPB-3) in the neck, stock Fender double jazz humbucker in the bridge. It is missing all but one of the string-through ferrules.
I defretted the bass and then filled the cavities with polyurethane and put polyurethane coats over the whole board. It is most definitely not a professional job, but it holds tune well, is properly intonated, and plays wonderfully. I had it set up by the fabulous gentleman at the Low End. Upon receiving the bass back I found to my discontent that above the 12th or 14th fret on the E string the notes did not sound. This is because the fretboard was not level after I finished my sanding job. They had to use the MicroTilt adjustment and move it back, so the action is just a little higher now. It wouldn't take too much time to sand that side of the fretboard, but I never had an issue with playing the bass the way it is. Currently strung with SIT Silencers. It can get a gut-churning growl and unbelievably fat thump.
The body has a good amount of dings. There is an 1/8th inch indention right after the 3rd fret side marking dot on the neck, some dings in the headstock, and a "Guitar Heaven Nashville" sticker on the back of the headstock. There are no structural issues at all. This is a solid players bass. I haven't weighed this bass personally, but from research I believe it to be around 7.5lbs. I will double check later to make sure, but it's definitely light.
