I just picked one up... must say, I am somewhat concerned with the "polymer" neck... how has the wear and tear been? I like playing with roundwounds... are you finding they eat into the finish quickly?
@DaBrizzy I owned it for about a year and I bought it already used. It was from 2008 if I'm not mistaken. I didn't notice any wear and it seemed really "solid" to me. I used halfwounds, and the fretboard was holding up pretty well. Some marks, but nothing to bad.
The "ebanol" neck is specifically designed to not pit and rut. It is more durable than an ebony board. It is advertised to handle round-wound strings without wearing out.
If you got this bass with a real wood board, you'd have to have the finger board refinished or replaced every 5 years or so if you used rounds on it.
Californication and So What by Miles Davis in the same video? AWESOME!
I specified on So What because a few people have gotten confused over what song I meant...

How thick is the neck at the 1st fret ?

@widepass I can't mesure because I sold it, but I can say it's pretty slim, maybe a little thinner than a usual JB neck.

Soo why did you sell it ?
666patrickbateman666 7 months ago
@666patrickbateman666 Because I don't play that much fretless, and I needed the money to get an amp.

Whats the weight of that bass ?
666patrickbateman666 8 months ago
@666patrickbateman666 Pretty light, I would say a little less than 4kg.
