bigsmokebass Posted May 31, 2011 Posted May 31, 2011 i once had a squier VM fretless (practically the Jaco sig) and it had a nasty, plastic/"ebonol" fretboard, it even gave the sound a some what plastic'y tone and not the usual woody mellow sound. how does this sound? is there any wood on the fretboard or a slab of ebonol?

Netballman Posted June 27, 2011 Posted June 27, 2011 I used to have one of these, lovely sound, no-one should be worried about that ebonol board, it's great! Super bass for the money. Have a free bump

I've never played one but if I had 3 grand, I don't think the 1005 would be on my shopping list. I managed to pick up a 105, which was Korean made and has the ash body, natural finish and the single Bart pickup and pre. It retailed about £800. They were dropped in 2005 I think in favour of the 1005 and the 35. I missed the chance to buy one of the last 105's at the gallery and ended up buying this 35. There is nothing wrong with the 35, it's served me very well. But the 105 is a better sound for me mainly because of the pickup.

I have one myself and can honestly say they're one of the best value and best sounding 5-string fretlesses around.
