    I doubt any SBMM instrument sees the USA territory, unless an USAnian buys one. They originally claimed to be built overseas and sent to EBMM for QC and setup. That has not been the case in years.

    I have a Batking hollow (20") and a GoldTone solid body (23"). Both fretless. The Batking looks great but the small size and lack of weight doesn't make it that comfortable to play well. I much prefer the GoldTone, for ergonomics and sound. The slightly longer scale seems to help a lot getting the intonation... I was going to say right but who am I kidding, I'll say "close enough"

    I can't unsee that as "snot yellow"...

    Maybe it'll work out better if you practiced along the songs you're supposed to have learnt, instead?

    Repeat repeat repeat. Repeat until you don't have to think. Learning a song is only the beginning, if you want to remember it you need to repeat it. Lots. At least I do. When I've had a lot of songs to learn in short time I make a playlist with them and listen to them constantly: at work, in the car... It's a good way to remember things 'passively', for me.

    I'm seriously considering a Z7-5. I like the MM/J configuration, the semiparametric mids and a passive tone control. The Z3-5 looks like it has a narrow string spacing at the bridge (likely 16mm by the look of it), while the Z7-5 looks wider, much like a Stingray, so 17.5mm or maybe even 18mm, which rules out the Z3-5 for me anyway. Natural, or Burgundy Mist? Hmmm...

    it must be really heavy

    They used to make some with a slimmer neck, lookout for "SLO" versions, those have the slim neck. rare, 'though. Alternatively there's the Sterling (the EBMM model, not the overseas "Sterling by MusicMan" brand), slightly smaller body and the preamp/pickup is not exactly the same, but it's not that far from a Stingray.

    She seems to be using a Boss OC-5 for the octave, so that might be one reason the tracking is cleaner (the Zoom's octavers are passable at best). And of course, the fretless helps with the flow.

    My 2022 Ray35 is fine. I was going to replace the preamp with a John East MMSR that I've got in a drawer somewhere, but I ended up liking the stock one enough. It sounds great. So... I don't know.

    Pretty cool units these. As a student all I could do was look at the original rack form, look at my bank balance, sigh and continue walking while I wiped the tears from my eyes. These little ones are even better! I love it for cleanish guitar in particular, better than any digital modeller I've tried, it really gives me the sensation I am using an amp. I didn't expect it to be great for bass, but it's really good... Anyway, I'm a fan Good luck with the sale!

    I've had a Line6 G30 since 2009, it just works with any bass I had.

    If that box came from Amazon, I would have said a plectrum.
