"This bass is possessed by a sexy, mysterious and wicked demoness!"

Feature:
The Schaller tuners are great; very precise. The neck is thicker than an Ibanez or Jackson, but easier to handle than a Fender or Ernie Ball. Body shape and finish are just a gorgeous combination. The tuning gear are in-line making tuning easier.

Quality:
Finish and fit were top-notch. No loose parts, but some cosmetic blemishes where the fingerboard meets the neck.

Value:
This is a great upgrade for players after some initial experience. Also a great backup bass, but as a main bass it may not be as versatile as it's a groover's bass. For bass players who tend to overplay 'cause they're lead guitarist wannabes, they'll get quickly tired showing off because the weight distribution is that much of a problem. Left-arm strength is a must for this model.

Desirability:
Classic looks, attention-grabbing. Yes, it's sexy. You'll look great wearing it onstage, and it's got enough tone versatility to make it practical for a few songs.

Sound:
Sound is a low, groovy, wicked rock rumble. Turn the tone up for clarity when using distortion. Sound is great for passive pickups; I love these new ceramic pickups. Since I don't do much tapping, slapping and popping, the lack of active pickups isn't a drawback. Sounds great through an overdriven guitar amp, but even sweeter through a good Fender or Hartke Bass rig.

Support:
No service needed so far.

Overall:
I'm keeping this one forever, play it even after it's ugly and beaten. May upgrade it later.

"THE BEST SOUNDING BASS THAT I HAVE EVER PLAYED!!!!"

Feature:
The pickups and manufacturing of this bass is beyond belief, and second to none. Words can not describe the quality of this bass, just buy it!

Quality:
Great quality, as i said, BULLETBROOF construction!!

Value:
THis bass beats the hell out of most all basses that i have played, even some selling for thousands of dollars.

Desirability:
The aesthetics of this bass is amazing, the lines of the bass are sensual and brutal at the same time!

Sound:
This is the perfect bass for any metal head, that loves to lay down intense bass lines, this is the perfect bass for you!! The greatest bass that i have played tonal and production wise, and i have played 3,000 dollar bass guitars that i dont like as much. This bass is bulletproof. My friend knocked his off his second story balcony, and the only dammage it took was a little paint chip. You could pull a Pete Townsend guitar smash, and have this thing sound excellent your next gig. If you dont have one, BUY IT!!! I know I am!

Ease of Use:
This bass is so playable that it can go from metal to punk to funk...if ur into that, and back again without any adjustments.

Overall:
I will never become dissatisfied with this bass as long as i live!
