Feature:
The hardware is solid and pleasing to the eye, although I did find that the paint wore off of the knobs after excessive use. I ended up creating my own wooden knobs as replacements, purely for aesthetic value. I was able to buy it directly off the shelf, and thus, the accessories included were of my own choosing. A hard case is worth buying to protect the soft finish.
Quality:
This product is extremely well made. The quality of the bolt-on neck is great enough to make it feel like a neck-through. I can depend on it to take a beating without anything breaking, although dings and scratches are very easily obtained.
Value:
This bass was offered to me at around $500. Way too cheap for a piece of art of this caliber.
Desirability:
My bandmates refer to it as "Sex on a Stick." Enough said.
Sound:
This bass has a very versatile tone. I particularly enjoy the clean, articulate voicing and it has become a staple of "my sound." I find myself using this bass effectively in prog. metal, rock, and jazz situations.
Ease of Use:
This bass felt almost fluid beneath my fingers. The neck is nice and shallow, and the cutaway allows for easier exploration of the higher range. I have never picked up a bass I enjoyed using as much as this.
Support:
I have never had to ask for support for it directly from the manufacturer, but the retailers were very helpful in assisting me when i purchased it.
Overall:
I believe that I will keep this bass for the rest of my life. I have no plans whatsoever to replace it anytime soon.
