I'm surprised I haven't had more interest, when I bought it everyone was clamoring to get it and I almost felt like I won a race when I finally bought it. You can't find better value if you want to try your hand at fretless. Has a beautiful muah to it and passive electronics, 2 volume controls and 2 tone controls. Very solid, very sturdy and sounds the part, does not sound 'cheap' at all. Structurally looks great, tight neck pocket, no crack or even dings that I can find. As I said before, Sugden (a b/c member) sold it to me and I think it was owned by another b/c member before him. I'm sure they'd both will testify that there's absolutely nothing 'wrong' with the bass and sold only to upgrade. If you're not sure if you'll like fretless and just want to give it a go this is a great deal!
