I'll go along with those who like flats on a phenolic board. I have used them on my S2 fretless and one drummer I play with commented that it was the most upright electric sound he's ever heard. If it were me I wouldn't be in a hurry to sell the Gary Willis bass. I love the sound they make. A phenolic board won't make the same sound at all due to the lack of wood. My wooden Electro gets a lovely warm woody sound with Thomastic Jazz Flats. If you want something of the woody sound might be an idea to have wooden board put on it.
