Just got my new SUB 4 active fretless in today... I put new strings on it, set it up, and man, does it sing! The only strange part about the bass is how light the fingerboard is. I thought it was just dry, so I put some lemon and linseed oil on it to moisturize it, but it's still a lighter brown than my other fretless. A lighter piece of Pao Ferro I guess? Here are a couple of pics...

Nice axe!! something about the smooth board...it's not just an unwanted jammer deturrant...it's cool. How's it compare to the 3 way tone adjustment? Contact cust. service on the D.O.B.

Love the Musicman basses with fretless necks...don't own one, but if I got the chance, I would. Still can't bear the thought of swapping necks on my Ray yet. Hopefully I will find one for sale one of these days.

Nice new one! You are well on your way to owning every SUB ever made!

OT QUESTION:
How the hell you you pronounce "Pao Ferro""
I've been saying "POW-FERO"...lol, is that right?
