Jury is out for me.

Read this without my specs and initially thought, 'Blackbeard, Captain Hook and Long John Silver'. I get worried about myself. Sorry.

One of my two black basses: non-maple board, T-birdish shape, twin-pickup, non-Fender shaped headstock. If you can wear 11.5lbs around your shoulder, it sounds wonderful. My chiropractor loves it.

Hi S'manth - see if you can find the contact details for this guy. As I recall, he spent most of his life searching for a new head. 🤭

I have two fretless basses. One has roundwounds for that 'electric' fretless sound you mention. The other has tape-wound Labella strings for a fatter, more DB sound. I'd suggest you try using a chorus if using roundwounds (chorus AND octaver can sound great.) your ebony board will show signs of wear, but find yourself a good local luthier -Martin at the Bass Gallery - and they'll be able to advise what needs done, and when. Good luck in your adventure(s).
