I took delivery of a gwb205! After taking some time to acclimatize to my environment I opened the package. Wow, first thought is what a nicely designed bass... this from a staunch Fender style passive player. Gary calls it a user interface in one for the videos discussing his design choices...

Well, I finally did it, I pulled the trigger on a shiny new GWB35, my first fretless! Buuuut, Sweetwater isn't expecting it to be in until sometime in May. In the meantime, I thought I might live vicariously through my fellow TBers that own or have previously owned a GWB35. What do you guys...

With the help of @Inara, I was able to snag this 2016 GWB205 for $799 in Seattle. Thoughts: 1) The weight is excellent, at 7lbs 4oz. 2) The tone is really neutral, and quite flexible with the Bartolini radiused pickup and 2 band EQ. Lots of mwah. 3) The playability is phenomenal. I really like...
