I will get that ASAP and let you know. Neither is super light, but they certainly aren't incredibly heavy.

Does the fretless still work with the original piezo pickup? Any comments on the sound of the East preamp, or sound clips? Thanks!

It does work with that, the East is a buffered input, so you can easily match levels and make them balance nicely. Having the added control that the East preamp affords is a really nice feature to have on this.
As usual, piezo pickups tend to sound a bit brittle and these are no different. But the East can shape it better than stock could.

I'll see if I can get something recorded and post it here. Stay tuned.

Okay, here's the sample. I'll be frank, the piezo doesn't match the output of the EMG, even when I brought the piezo up and the EMG down in volume at the trim pots.
Truth be told, I don't really find myself using the piezo pickup for much more than a slight accent in attack. The EMG is quite capable.

The first riff is both pickups, second is just EMG, third is piezo only.

I forgot to bring them to weigh today, but I'll do that tomorrow.

Bump up, ANY REASONABLE OFFER WILL BE CONSIDERED.

9 lbs, 6 oz. The black one weighs about the same.
And there's a possible local trade happening on the white one, so if anyone's interested, speak quickly!

I'm interested in the fretless, but live in Toronto, Canada.
Is it missing a knob? Hard to tell from the photos!
Please let me know what it might cost to ship it here.
Thanks.

Is it possible to get a replacement hook? Do you have the original electronics?

I haven't been able to find replacements lately. And the original electronics are gone, sorry.

I found these. I was looking for them because, coincidentally, I am the new owner of the white bass. I haven't tried to order one yet because I'm planning to just 3d print mine, so no guarantees that they are actually in stock...
