Sound sample:

Dunlop half wounds (more thumpy, less mwah tone than flts or roundwounds) sounds are: Neck pickup tone on and off, bridge pickup tone on and off, the same in higher register and then mixes between both pickups. All passive, straight into audio interface

Good job it’s a fretless. I really like that design. 

Me too, that's one of the nicest single cut designs that I've seen - elegant, coherent and avoids the bulbous bulk of some alternatives

Not normally a fan of single cuts at all - but this is lovely GLWTS

agreed.  it' suprising how many makers get the shape wrong.  After a Shuker, this is only the second example where a maker got it right IMHO.  To such an extent I didn't even notice it was a single cut until @Cuzzie pointed it out

Afterthought - on further inspection I can't figure out the headstock badge. It's curved shape almost works for me, but at the same time it seems to be a sticky outy add on?  I know this section is not the place for discussion, but as the owner (or maker?) seems to be aboard this thread, I thought I'd balance out my total admiration for the body and especially the single cut shape with a query re. headstock design.  Bin me if I done bad.

i second that...

and would also be nice to see the back of the headstock, something written there?

any chance of putting some frets in it, if you’re the maker or have contact with him/her/them?

cheers

 🥛Milk Paint? ...I couldn’t leave that near our cat!😸

 

Hahaha, it is a very old paint type, based on milk casein, and finished with natural oil. I dont think your cat would like to bite it, but, we never know hehehehe
