Just sent this to Bill in an email... a Great forum member to work with!
"Hi Bill,
sorry I haven't gotten back to you since I received the bass about two weeks ago... I'm doing a HUGE roof renovation project for a friend, and it's consuming huge amounts of energy/time from me....
So far, I've had the opportunity to play the bass at several rehearsals, and one open mic/jam gig that I do every Tuesday. Really enjoying playing the bass! Never thought I'd have this much fun playing a four-string! Feedback on the sound/tone has been very positive... I've had to adjust the pickups a bit, and I'm going to have to tweak the action to get a bit more "mwah" out of it, but I'm not going overboard on it....
My fingering/intonation/ear abilities are good enough that most people aren't aware that it's a fretless until I point it out! Got to say, the best $250 I've spent in a long while!
Thanks again for all you did to swap the necks on this bass, and put on a Hipshot bridge, and tuners, plus the flatwounds... what brand are they by the way - I like 'em!
Looking forward to working with you on what-ever my next purchase is... be it another bass, or just parts! And, I WILL send you an Aloha package one-day soon.....
Aloha, Mahalo, and Thanks!
Ian"
