Niiiiiiiiice!
I love the look of a clean fingerboard, whether fretless or not. I love that finish. I love that pickguard. I guess I just love that bass!

Good point, I neglected to mention the gold hardware!I agree, I feel like every single choice you made is exactly right. The gold hardware the gorgeous unlined neck and then the bare headstock with that
I wasn't sure about the gold hardware until I saw a pic of an old orange J bass with gold hardware and thought, "Yeah, that's it."I agree, I feel like every single choice you made is exactly right. The gold hardware the gorgeous unlined neck and then the bare headstock with that
Only bummer now is I still have about a week till my gigs!
As though the heavens opened up and the gods decided to play fretless.
The fun part is going to be playing with all of the HH modes. I know what they sound like on fretted but this is quite different.
And it's 8.6 pounds!

Im so glad it was worth the wait. That is a nice combo you put together.
Well, the string ain't gonna tune itself.The Headstock Tuner ruined it for me
Oh my, what a colossal screw-up! What a beauty. I'm glad they don't make an HH model of that, or I'd have been in trouble.

Good point. For me, I'm grateful that it's missing one string and one pickup.
Still completely droolworthy, though.
That fingerboard is spectacular!
From Tony Levin Interview with 'No Treble' [ I agree with last sentence IME and mainly the "If I want" part]
“I mean, if it had lost the original special thing that it had, I would have kept the old ones and stopped getting the new ones. But indeed, the very newest ones, this Stingray Special, is my main go-to bass. Now, it hasn’t lost a bit, and I can adjust the tone to get the sound, if I want, exactly [like] the vintage ones.”

LOL. 
I tried thinking of something he played on that DIDN’T put me and my playing to shame, but I came up blank.
