I've been playing bass since the sixties and grabbed this to explore fretless a little deeper while staying on a budget. The Dean A-EBF has been a genuine treat, right out of the box. The tone is rich everywhere on the neck and I'm pleased with the volume I can get without amplification (it arrives with round wound strings). I was also surprised at the variety of voice available through mid to high positions, especially from the middle strings where the fretboard delivers ripe, Pastorious like swells. If you're into slap beware as the accoustic body tends to capture and resonate both sides of the strings almost equally.
Obviously, transitioning away from frets requires a lot of concentration but also anticipate the extra travel distance to drive a string that doesn't stop on a bar. Its not about extra muscle, its about releasing the left fingers to jump a little higher, a little faster to find a neighboring open string. And don't look for any sympathy from this instrument's non-adjustable bridge.
The aesthetics are clean and honest, elegant actually, and the fit is easy though you may find yourself sitting with the body a little off your leg so you can play the elongated neck.
I wanted a lot from the Dean and I got more. While I purchased it for an introduction to accoustic/fretless I believe I have something that will last much, much longer.
