    Round wounds, absolutely. Love this, the only disappointing thing for me about this is no peizo :( It makes a huge difference on SRF700 model. Peizo and fretless are like bread & butter!

    have you tried it with flats? flats are my preferred string for fretless and i haven’t seen any videos of someone playing one with flats, and im curious about how it sounds with flats. although, im sure it sounds amazing with flats.

    Howdy. Well no and I will tell you why. It’s incredibly “risky” or maybe potentially expensive (is a better way to say it) using flats on a headless. There are a few tricks you need to use to minimize the risk of the string unravelling at the head stock end. Even when you use some of the tricks there is still a chance they unravel. Having said that, some round core strings (like DR) can also unravel on the headless technology. On one of my headless I use the classic Labella flats and they are still going, sound great and never unravelled. My favourite flats, the TI flats, no chance, they will unravel or break almost immediately.

    Is your action set very low? I hear a lot of string slap and rattle.

    You using headphones?? The action certainly was pretty low outta the box when they sent it, I literally unboxed it half an hour before the video, but also on top of that what you are hearing would be a bit of the acoustic sound from the Room mic as well because cause I play pretty hard compared to most. I ended up setting the action at about 2.3mm or so on the B and E at the 12th fret marker so it was low but not super low, especially for a fretless. Really fun fretless to Play, after the vid I actually noodles around for another hour or so, lots of fun. 🤟😉

    Hey Buddy, I only had the bass to do the video so I don’t have any further feed back. I do have one of the fretted versions and they are killer basses, especially at this price point. 👌

    Thanks for the response@@ToyBoxPlayaReviews! I currently have one and I was just wondering about the chosen materials, basswood and richtlite. Do they hold up? I guess we'll have to find out for ourselves then :). Agreed, it is a very good sounding and playing bass able to sound good playing from metal to singing melodic jazz lines.

    I hear ya Tony, it was the only concern I had with this bass. It plays and sounds great and the price point is awesome but the basswood body stuff? Personally I stay away from the softer body woods for live use because my gear takes a pounding. I have gigged the EHB line and have not had an issue aside from a few strap pins pulling out. They are more liable to cop a ding or two than other more dense woods. The pair of Japanese made RB730’s from the early 80’s I play a lot are bass wood bodies and bass wood is actually really punchy. And over the years they have become quite resonant, but the biggest difference for me in durability? If you look at the older Japanese made bass wood guitars they use a very thick finish on them which protects them from picking up easy dings and bumps. That would be my gripe, the newer ones have a very light finish. If they beefed up the finish and gave it a nice thick one, these basses are unbeatable. But then? That’s why I like the EHB1265 so much, it’s a hell of a lot sturdier.
