I feel this way because these instruments are so consistent in their design and construction, as well as versatile in their tone and setup, I'm confident that I could adjust it the way I like and get the tones that I like.

Have you contacted Joe Roberts or Rich Briere? Joe has a USA fretless and a Kingston fretless (and many other very kewl basses). He may have some data points for you. Rich also has a USA 5 string and a Kingston 5 string - both fretted, but, he could comment of the playability of both and the differences.

Good luck! Post some pics when you get it!
