Looks beautiful, sounds beautiful, plays beautifully. I saw one reviewer comment about the fretboard wearing down, leaving the fretlines sticking out. The fretboard doesn't wear down like that. They are mistaken as to what happened. The wood can contract in cold weather, as many guitars do. With a fretted instrument, it would just be a quick fret dress. With this one, it means filing down the nylon and oiling it up. Any competent Luther can deal with it. Costed me only $60.

I love this bass!!!
The fret lines are not wood!! I don't mind fret lines, but it seems they've used plastic, possibly nylon, but definitely some sort of polymer, NOT WOOD, as fret lines. I have played this bas A LOT since I bought it about 7 months ago. And the rosewood fingerboard wears down while the fret lines do not. One area, between the e flat and g notes on the g -string (frets 6-12 on a fretted bass) has become so worn that the fret lines are beginning to function as actual frets! I cannot play the semi tones between the fret lines in that area!!! Sliding in that area no longer has a fretless slide sound, and playing the specific notes on the fret lines achieves a buzzy, dull, unclear note, as opposed to the clear, specific, precise note sounds it made when first purchased. I can also feel almost all the fret lines on the entire fingerboard as ridges while I play, which is pretty annoying. I wasn't like that when I bought it.
I'm gonna plane the neck and coat with superglue.

My SRH505 FRETLESS feels, plays and sounds like a small upright. It's a different animal...
