Well, now it's December 2025 and this thread still has value. There's really very little out there about these basses.

I'm on the search for a fretless B40. I have loved Bakithi's tone on Graceland from the moment I heard it. Been searching for that tone for years. Haven't been able to get it on any of my other fretlesses.
