Best value for money for fretless bass
Beautiful guitar with high-quality parts.
Convenient "24 frets" (signs) neck.
The main disadvantage for me is its high weight (about 5Kg).
If possible, try to choose your specific guitar, since the natural wood grain looks different on each guitar.
The recent models are with Jatoba Fingerboard (and not rosewood) and without the ESP model inlay on the neck.
It has an active preamp/tone (bass/mid/treble) circuit with passive pickups.
I did the following modifications to match my needs:
* Strings - I changed to Flatwound (D'Addario ECB80 or ECB84 Chromes).
* Electronics - I changed both PU's to two passive SD (NYC model) and push/pull active/passive switch on the volume pot, as well as 3 position switch (instead of the treble knob location) to choose between single/parallel/serial for the two SD PU.
I kept the treble knob in its center position in the electronic compartment (it is large enough).
I am very happy with this setup.
