It's a 1978 Kramer 450B fretless aluminum neck. I got it off a different forum.
I just need to get new pickup rings for it, and there was a hole drilled in it sometime before the owner who sold it to me bought it around 1980 (who since then filled it with the tiny skull pictured below).
First impressions:
WOW. The sustain. Holy shit. I can hold a note for like a solid minute now.
Tone knobs for each pickup are really great and responsive.
Both pickups sound so incredibly different in a good way that it sounds like two different instruments when looping.
Lighter than I thought, and well balanced. Zero neck dive.
Not sure of the scale, but it seems a little more compact than my other bass, which isn't a bad thing at all and is actually really comfortable.
I was a bit hesitant to play a fretless, but this is so easy to play. I only seem to hit flat notes when I actually look at the fretboard.
Super sturdy metal nut, and locking tuners.
Might eventually end up getting rid of the tiny skull as I kept mistaking it for a switch.
I'm a happy guy right now.
And I figured while I was at it I guess I should record a demo. It's super shit. Going through a guitar cab at the moment, zero mic'ing for good measure.
