"Dragonfly flew into my heart"

Feature:
It's a fretless bass

Quality:
It is simply beautifull to look at. Abalone all over the place. The fit and finish are perfect with the exception of a small area were the nut joins the neck. The only compaint I have with the whole thing is the bridepins. The are molded plastic and they look cheap. They do have an abalone dot but you can plainly see the mold line and it just detracts. I'm replacing them. The neck is a work of art in it's self. Quilted maple is breathtaking. It's a laminate so it will hold up to some rough treatment.

Value:
It is a bargin for it's cost.

Desirability:
i want it and I got it. Try to take it away.

Sound:
Not much volume unplugged, but it sounds sweet. No buzz at all. Plug it in and you've got monster tone and sustain.

Support:
Wouldn't know...

Overall:
I am not in the market for anything else. This bass meets all my needs.

"WHOA!!!!"

Feature:
The Fishman electronics makes finding a sound you like a breeze. The body contouring is fantastic making it a joy to play.

Quality:
The product is beautiful and easyily the best priced ABG on the Market. I gave it an 8 here becuase i had to have it set up to get rid of some of the fret buzz. After a quick day in the shop ou could confuse this bass with something far more expensive.

Value:
Aside from the quick setup this baby beats out anything for about a quarter of the price.

Desirability:
This is probably the most beautiful guitar on the market. When i play a show people come up to me afterwards and are like "Damn, thats one fine looking bass." It is well made and comfortable to play. Perfect for hours on teh beach with your friends. I would buy this agian in an instant

Sound:
Great... Just Great... Compared to all of the other ABG's out their this bass beats them all.

Overall:
This bass will keep me happy as long as it is in my power to pick it up and play. Great product with an unbeatable price.
