Wow...... how does it play? how are the ergonomics, how does it sound? Inquiring minds want to know.
she plays great, very smooth, the neck is the most comfortable, I feel the neck is shaped a bit like a bass clef, a tad thicker by the b string and gets thinner as you go down to the g string, super well balanced, the sound is all you expected from a fretless, can make it growly with the mwah sound or very round and punchy, not as heavy as my 5 string petite but still kind of heavy, but I use a wide 4 inch strap and problem solved
