"Serious Bass"

Quality:
The construction and finish is excellent. It came out-of-the-box ready to play. No adjustments were needed.

Value:
I wih it was cheaper...but ya "get what you pay for."

Desirability:
The Mike Dirnt gets everyone's attention. My muscian friends appreciate the look and sound. Others just like the look. I got the Sunburst.

Sound:
This bass "cooks!!" I love the 51 pickup which provides excellent tone to rock and r&b music selection. Quality instrument cables are a must to aviod some buzz from the pickup. I enjoy my Ibanez active bass however, the construction and sound of this bass seperates from the others. Playing through my 2x10 SWR with a 115 ampeg extension lays out a strong clear sound. Make sure you get the 3.5 guitar strap for the extra weight.

Ease of Use:
You will need to use the eq on your amp to change tones. This is expected with a passive bass.

Support:
No need to contact Fender to this point.

Overall:
I extremely satisfied! I have a vintage Univox fretless, active Ibanez and the Dirnt. Adding the Dirnt to my collection has me set. I would get another if anything happens to this one.

About This Product!
Description
Docs
Mike Dirnt and his band mates in Green Day almost single-handedly brought pop and punk to the masses in the '90s. The new Mike Dirnt Precision Bass is as unique and cool as Green Day's music and was designed to Mike's own unique specifications. Mike's bass was modeled after the Fender'51 P Bass, and features an ash, slab body with a '55 arm contour and pickguard. Other features include a thick, maple 'C'-shape neck modeled after Mike's original '69 P Bass, Custom Shop '59 P Bass pickup, and a BadAss II bridge with chrome hardware.
