"Campbell has Heart attack due to shoking-ness of bass!!!"

Feature:
Everything is easy to use. It has all the features you need. BAsic which is perfect for me to make a great sound fast no matter what I play.

Quality:
Everything was perfect nothing loose or anything. Except for a part on the bottom of the neck. it looks like the wood was sanded down. but still looks good. Gives it a natural look.

Value:
I would have thought it would be twice as much after hearing it. Even Dave Campbell had a heart Attack because he was so shoked as how chep it was.

Desirability:
It looks basic but has the ESP "Metal" playing look basic like I like it and sleek as well.

Sound:
This thing sounds amazing!!! Put it next to a 500 dollar 5 string you can't tell the difference. Somehoew this Majical device cancelss all buzzing sounds if moving cable in jack or standard cable buzz. Great J trebble and Great P punch. I love the low B. BYE 4 stringers.

Ease of Use:
Simple!!! Nothing Comlicated at all!!! You can make any type of sound bass wise easily. Playable the second you get it.

Support:
Haven't had experience yet but I know ESP is always there becauseI have spoken to them before. They answer anything.

Overall:
I expect to be satisfied for years to came. This is nor beginner bas for me. I'm stuck now.
