Really good bass in meaning of sound, total appearance (only small manufacturing broke acceptable for me) and all the specific features it has: light weight, handfull knobs, plastic base for keeping right hand in the place. Before actual purchase I already have studied few posts and video reviews, and keeping in hand then playing had prove all of it. Will have to get using smaller dimensions between strings while playing left hand as the neck is not wide and very comfortable, so it's just a matter of practice. Was a little in doubt before as it's the first fretless for me, but after trying I absolutely love it.
