What matters in use
Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.

Detail 01
Your finger placement alone sets pitch. Slides are smooth and continuous, but intonation is entirely on you.
Detail 02
Light and soft-sounding with a scooped, mellow midrange. Less punch and snap than ash or alder.
Detail 03
Thicker, quieter output than single coils. Blend the two for a rounder neck sound or a tighter bridge tone.
Detail 04
Softer than maple, so roundwound strings will groove the board over time on a fretless.
Detail 05
Stiff and stable, which matters more on fretless where a bowed neck ruins intonation across the board.
Final check

Product questions
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
It is harder. Without frets you must find every pitch by ear and feel. Most players learn on a fretted bass first, then move over.
Line markings vary by fretless model. If visual position guides matter to you, confirm whether this neck has lines before ordering.
Flatwounds or tapewounds. Roundwound strings have a ridged surface that cuts grooves into a rosewood board over months of playing.
Humbuckers cancel hum and put out a thicker, warmer signal. Paired with the mellow basswood body, it leans dark rather than bright.
