Overall: 4.5 out of 5 stars

Verified Customer zZounds has verified that this reviewer made a purchase from us.
Build quality is truly excellent. Fretwork is some of the best i've seen on a sub $2k bass. Bought mine from zZounds and was the first person to touch since the Fender factory. Bass was setup fine. Hardware was all installed properly and seeing the finish when opening the case just really impresses. The nitro is beautiful!Bass is basically the Mexican version of the AVRI. The pots are full size CTS everything else appears to be the same but the pickups. Sounds and plays like a big neck P bass. Exactly what I wanted. Case is fine. My bass fits great. I usually use a gig bag anyway.
