It is the only fretted bass that I have and it is very light.
The ebony SKB3005 has a lot of bottom end, but I wanted a bit more from the glassy highs. This one has the bart pre and nordie pickups. The bass is very smooth with an overall funky sound. I use this bass for jazz because of its smoothness.
The Century sig is my favorite. The overall ergonomic feel is awesome. She sits on my shoulder a little more balanced than the other two. This bass is a little more aggressive than the SKB3005, especially for a fretless: very low bottom end. The mids and highs are very smooth warm. The audere pre gives me so much control with the entire register of the mids and highs. The auder is by far my favorite preamp. This bass sounds great with all kinds of music, which is probably due to the preamp. I can dial in many different sounds. The bart pups/audere pre is by far my favorite electronic combination.
I guess I should mention that the comparisons were made through an Augilar stack and Eden amp.
