Got this Bass via the zZounds payment plan. (Thanks guys!) I absolutely love this Bass. I have always liked active pickups over passive, and I needed a very versatile Bass as I sit in for all different genre of bands. This Bass fits the bill. The neck with its c shape fits my hand better than any Bass that I have owned. The Bass just looks badass as well. The sound? All I can say is PHAT. I went from a Musicman to this and was worried that it might not have that big bottom end that makes up my sound. I was please to find out that this was not the case. Its sounds bigger and cleaner that the Musicman. You can also easily dial in the Jazz bass sound as well. Its very solid as well. I'm blown away by this bass and you can't beat the price. Everything I wanted in one.
