That's the one... black basses aren't really my thing but on the plus side I can probably use it in a metal band and they won't notice the frets are missing
[Edit] I just hit the go button... they're on a couple of weeks backorder, hopefully here by the end of the month though!
Damn, you work fast man! Happy future NBD then, I'm pretty sure you're gonna like it!
As proof of this point, a few years ago I was watching Good Morning Mexico on Telemundo, much like the American version of the show they had a live music component with the band performing out of studio somewhere in a public square nearby. The bassist had a 10 or 12 string, I forget exactly, but the neck was so wide he had to bring his thumb around to the front to fret the lowest strings. All that to play I-V and the occasional fill. In my mind I was cheering him on for living his best life, but my wife and mother-in-law, both of whom pay a little more attention to these things than the average non-musician, didn't even notice. And when I pointed it out they only mentioned it looked uncomfortable to play. He played excellently. Very tasteful despite what that axe made available to him. No one was hurt, no one cried, no one danced any less because of it. All was right in the world.
Maybe they just thought he played the ironing board.
If you do get one, please post a review and maybe some clips, as I'm interested in the 5 as I think it might be easier as my first fretless. Then again, I do jump into the deep end so I may just get the 6, and the HB 800B head.
I know you didn't ask for my thoughts but might as well tell you.
The one I played left little to be desired, especially considering the price. The neck is comparable to an Ibanez SR although not as thin. It's a comfy D. The board was true as far as I could tell, no bumps, slopes, ramps etc. Smooth all the way.
Stock strings are pure crap and they can bury the bass during first impressions. Don't even try it with'em. Just change them out as soon as it's out of the box!
Pickups aren't the best, granted but they aren't bad AT ALL. Personally, I wouldn't change them. The tones are all there. Preamp can also be deactivated and it's got a very nice passive tone, although it can get a tad muddy. You can dial that out with some easy EQ though.
The bass is very light. I mean, impressively light for a sixer. Pretty small body, too. Oddly enough, I didn't notice any dive. The neck is heavier than the body but doesn't really want to dive.
Fit and finish are ok. Nothing to write home about and you might get a small run somewhere but it's negligible and you can always just scruff up the black and paint it shell pink with a rattle can. I mean it costs less than 200 euros, you ain't ruining a boutique custom.
All in all, it punches waaaay above its price point and I couldn't not recommend it here.
Now if we're talking about the fretted version, I've got some gripes there but they don't apply to the fretless, so...
