I just picked up this 5 string Essence Fretless! Hard to find the words to describe this one. It plays as good as it looks!

Any info you can provide would be appreciated!

Hi Steve,

Here's what I found out about your lovely bass:

serial number: 95K8887
model name: Essence
model number: KLB5F
top: Bird's-eye Maple
accent: Walnut pinstripe
body: Maple
neck: 5-piece Maple with 4 Walnut pinstripes
scale: 34" long
fingerboard: Ebony, lines fretless
pickups: Alembic MXY56

originally made for: Gelb Music, CA
birthday: February 1, 1995

The original owner was in California and owned another Essence 4-string bass at the time.

Thank you Mica.

Congratulations & Compliments Twocan. That's some fine-looking birds-eye maple there, not too much, not to skimpy - Just Right!   And fretless too - Bonus Points!

Looking forward to the Showcase Thread on that one. 

Coming shortly! I was hoping you'd see this
