"Best fretless for the money available"

Feature:
Included a cheesy gig bag; the truss rod allen wrench was included and used right away. Great value.

Quality:
Great finish (black) and set up tolerably well from the factory. Inclusion of high-quality flat would strings a real plus. A good aftermarket bridge (or standard vintage type with knurled saddles) is a must, as is the eventual replacement of the stock tuning keys. No need for a backup unless you need a fretted instrument for certain songs. Having owned american, japanese and MIM basses, I was blown away by the qualityof this latest run of Fender basses.

Value:
Excdellent value, and a few mods make it comparable to any USA made instrument.

Desirability:
Very practical and affordable but a great platform to learn fretless without spending a lot.

Sound:
The '06 represents a serious upgrade in overall quality (I have a fretted MIM from a few years ago; smooth neck with markers make the transition to fretless easy. Pickups are surprisingly good for stock, though I did replace stock bridge with a Gotoh which increased stability and overall sustain. A really fine instrument.

Ease of Use:
I've played for nearly thirty-five years but playing a fretless in a large rock and soul band took some adjusting. It's worth the initial humbling so stay with it and perfect your ear for intonation.

Support:
Never dealt with Fender but their website contained useful info on adjusting truss rod and intonation.

Overall:
A great addition to my colection

"Kickin' fretless"

Quality:
It's a Fender!

Value:
I can not imagine anything sounding any better.

Sound:
The fretless sound is fantastic.

Support:
The local store replace the factory nut, there was a buzz on the A string.

Overall:
I do not feel that I will need another bass. Now i know that I will probobly buy more but not out of need.

"This base freakin' ROCKS!"

Feature:
It came with a free gig bag, but no strap.

Quality:
I own 5 bass guitars and this ones construction and material outshines the rest.

Value:
I got this bass on sale. For 329.00 I got what I consider at least a 600.00 bass.

Desirability:
Its a chick magnet !

Sound:
This bass rocks. Its my first fretless and it is strung with flat wound strings. The tones and slides are beyond parallel.

Support:
Have never needed service.

Overall:
This bass is gonna stick with me for a life time. The day I got it I played it all night long and into the morning before it would let me go.
