22 fret fretless bass with nice 'n' slim maple neck and fingerboard. Ash/Alder body probably??? P and J type pickups with two volumes and master tone. Well finished in gloss balck. Chunky chrome hardware. Comfy bridge for palm muting if thats your thing
Sound

Only just got it so can't really judge. The strings are ancient so don't help but apart from them I think it sound good. Can be quite punchy with the J pickup but is a bit thin on its own. When you add some P pickup it warms and fattens the sound a suits the lack of frets well. Good variety of sounds but I will probably change the pickups at some point.

Seems to be well finished. The neck is lovely. Control cavity cover looks cheap but its round the back anyway. Paintwork seems tough
Reliability/Durability

I wouldn't know yet but it'll probably go for a while. Everthing works as it should so only abuse could make anything on this bass fail. It does feel very light so that may be a problem but at least it ain't trying to break my back every time I pick it up

Ive only had the bass a few days but the moment I picked it up I liked it. Its very light but doesn't feel flimsy. Good range of tones and plays great. Very happy so far..................
