I LOVE this bass! As soon as I picked it up, I was ripping 32nd runs like you wouldn't believe! I've tried Fender Jazz and P-basses, Ibanezes, Gibsons, Epiphones, nothing plays like this. The sound is great, depending on what kind of music you play. It has an excellent high-end and a decent low. I'm thinking of replacing the pickup with a Seymore-Duncan replacement. I'd reccomend this to anyone who plays jazz, country, R+B; though I think it wouldn't be well-suited to funk or hard rock. It may be possible to slap on it (you can get a relatively okay facimile by setting your EQs right and using a pick), but it just isn't the same.

I'm not quite sure what the body is made of, but DAMN is it heavy! I play in the marching band, and it's hard to stand at rehearsals for three hours and stay at attention; I've had to go to a chiroprachter (spelling?)twice! It's rather a killer in the looks department, considering it looks like nothing else.

Someday, I'm planning on buying a fretted five string, but I wouldn't trade this one for the world.

P.S.- Can other Fretless Stingray players please contact me to tell me what they think of it?
