Nice looking bass.
I’m curious how the weight is and the feel of the fretboard edges. I had a Kiloton Tribute and while it didn’t bother me in the least, it was a weighty chunk. I was a little irked that I had to shim the neck out of the box as, the saddles were bottoming out when I did my setup. The edges of the fretboard were not a big deal either after some light sanding, rubbing and rolling. Actually, it felt REALLY superb after that little bit of effort. That MFD pup strung with GHS Boomers was thunderous.
Congrats and enjoy!

Thanks!

Weight is in line with my Carvin and Geddy; somewhere in the 9-10 lb range. Not a lightweight, but not a boat anchor either.

Seemingly no sharp fret ends, but we’ll see what the CT winter does to it.

As for the neck and setup, once I gave the truss rod about a 1/3 tightening turn, the saddles are almost bottomed out after adjusting, but not quite, and the action is pretty much where I like a fretted bass, just a smidge higher than my fretless; very playable and comfortable for me.
