I have owned cheap basses, and the only other high end bass was a G&L 2500. This bass blows that one away. Fender has final tamed the "B" string. The 5 way switch changes tone somewhat, but not quite as much as I had hoped for. Basic black, with the maple finger board, great tone (good wood), easy to play neck... All in all this bass is worth the price paid, I will never need another...
