Ok so I have ALOT to say about this bass,
Well start from the headstock down.
Tuners: they are hit or miss with smoothness but they hold tune, however they don't sit flush on the headstock
Decal: nice and dark I think I will keep the logo
Nut: very sharp edges, jabbed my hand on it sliding up and down the neck while checking feel. This is minor. The action is also stupidly high but also, this is minor
Neck: the finish is VERY NICE the YouTube videos do not exaggerate on feel of the finish, howev ...

Neck: the finish is VERY NICE the YouTube videos do not exaggerate on feel of the finish, however on my particular neck I found a rough spot around the 14th fret, minor and can be sanded away
Fretboard: the ebolite board does the job, edges are kinda rough but again, this is minor and can be sanded down to taste.
Body: there is a ding on the upper horn of this bass by the strap peg and you can plainly see that it was colored in with a sharpie, kinda disappointing but expected for price.
Pickguard: this is the most glaring part of the bass that shows it's "cost". Very roughly cut and looks like it was crushed into place around the neck. Also minor and can be fixed with some work.
Pickup: this is actually the best part of the bass, it sounds FANTASTICALLY PBASS lol.
Bridge: unfortunately the bridge is off center by less than 1/2 but it's noticeable at first glance. Will need to move to center.
Knobs pots input: these also performed well, turn very smooth and not scratchy at all. Input works as it should.
There ya go. My inspection of the fretless gp bass
