OOOOH!
How does it play?
How does the neck feel? Shape?
Heavy bass?
Does it have a cutout on the back for shape?
(picture seems to indicate not )

I have tossed and turned for hours debating on this one - so any info would be awesome!
Thanks!

My mistake, it's actually the 955t . I have been very happy with the construction of the bass so far. Probably needs the electronics fiddled with (scratchy pot, some other minor issues) but I expected that. In short, I love it!

Honestly never thought I'd ever own a fretless bass, but I realize that if I'm going to try to be a complete player, I need to be able to play fretless...plus they sound really cool! So, this is my fretless...

'07 Pedulla PentaBuzz...does this make me #358?

That has to be one of the best looking Jerzy Drozds I've ever seen!

Well if you're going to start playing fretless you could do a lot worse than that. Lovely.

Thanks and it sounds very good as well. I'm stil familiarizing myself with it honestly.

The pics were from Jerzy Drozd before I asked Jerzy to have it half lined. The lines are very short but still precious for the intonation, net the fingerboard is not so immaculate as per pictures, but very close to it anyway. If I can , I'll post pics as it is now.

Certainly is ... I could just do with a 5-string version of that

Can I join??

Stunning !!!
The 4-string fretless Mark 1 is my dream bass.
Very cool basses.

Here is my most recent acquisition. It's a customized TBC Lightwave Fretless 5. It sounds a lot like an upright with steel flats.

Thanks! It's Vol/Low/Mid/High & Piezo Blend. I don't use the Piezo much as the bass sounds really great without it.
