The headstock has been replaced, and whoever did it did a sweet job on it.

Nice! I still remember some cartoon from the '80's:

"This is Lance, our fretless bass player."

Lance: "It's not fretless."

"I mean the way you play it. You don't seem to fret about what notes you hit."

I have to ask, how much does the bass weigh?

Not sure exactly, but it's comfortable.

Removing the frets really cuts down on the weight.
