"Worth every penny....."

Sound: This bass is a tone monster !! It has a deep bass tone but also good highs & a great mid range.After to you learn the controls it's very easy to dial in the sound your looking for.Lots of volume from this monster. I play through a SWR Working Pro 15 & between the amp & the guitar I can cover a wide range of musical styles & sounds.The pickups & electronics are very quite & very responsive. I bought my used(a 1999 model)& it had some old strings on it & once I replaced them with some DR Lo-Riders it really came alive. Feature: As I said I bought this bass used & got a hard-shell case with mine,but hey at least they include a gig bag. It's no-sense bass every feature has a purpose. All materials & parts are very good quality.My bass is almost 10 yrs old & everything still works great & the bass is very solid. I the option of a maple finger board would be cool.I think it would look really cool since the head stock is maple. Ease of Use: With some experimenting you can make this bass sound like a P bass or get that nasty J bass growl or a combo of both,a deep dark heavy metal bass,a bright pop style bass or a funk machine. If you're expecting that slim J bass neck your in for a surprise,it has a pretty wide neck but not uncomfortable.A person with smaller hands may have some fatigue after a long gig & it's pretty heavy.It's a "Real Man's " bass.(LOL) I have 2 other 5 strings (Dean fretless & an older Peavey)that have slimmer necks,but not as wide as my Washburn 6 string.Don't let that be something that keeps you from buying this bass. Quality: OK some people are guitar snobs & think that anything but a USA Fender is junk,they're wrong.This MIM is a very well crafted instrument & should last you a lifetime with proper care & handling.Mine(a 99') has spent a good portion of it's life in a case(until now,it's out gigging every weekend)& the finish still looks brand new.It's finish is flawless,very deep & very shiny.The neck is smooth as silk. Stay in tune very well.I'm not sure about the factory strings that are on it,I'm sure they're quality Fender strings,but a set of DR Lo-Riders Value: I bought my used from a friend for a great price but I believe this bass is well worth the cost of a new one.It's a great way to own a Fender Jazz bass for half the cost of a USA model. The US made electronics are a hidden feature that only add to the value. Manufacturer Support: Haven't had to use it but it a FENDER so it's gotta be good. The Wow Factor: I have the Candy Apple Red & it's dead sexy !! I get compliments on the look & the sound of the bass from fellow musicians & people in the crowd.This is my 6th bass in my "Bass Arsenal" & quickly becoming a favorite. If you're looking to make the leap to a 5 string or just looking for a good quality bass to gig with that won't break the bank this may be your bass. Overall: I wasn't really looking to by another bass when my friend showed this one to me.But after seeing it & playing it I think I would have tried to go get one if this one hadn't been for sale. I play in a country,rock,blues,Cajun & Tex-Mex band so having a wide vary of sounds at my finger tips is a great benefit to me. We play around 100 gigs a year,so I use my equipment it's not just to hang it on the wall & look at it.I'm sure this bass will be a warrior. PROS: awesome sound,wide variety of tones,great color,finish & good hardware,lots of boom for your buck CONS: pretty heavy & the neck is just a little wide(but not that bad)

Style of Music: country,rock,blues,oldies,Cajun,Tex-Mex

zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us. "Very satisfied with bass."

Sound: Have had about a dozen basses ranging in price from $100 to $1200 and this bass is the best sounding bass I have ever had my hands on. I only rate it as an 8 because I have heard some $3000 basses and they would rate a 9 or 10. But in this price range it would be hard to beat this bass as far as tone. The nioseless pickups along with the 3-band EQ that is installed are really much more dynamic than any bass I have ever owned. The B string even sounds good and clear as long as I use heavy guage bass strings. This cuts down on the floppyness. Had tons of compliments on this bass when I switched from a higher end Traben bass to this one. Feature: again in this price range this bass is hard to beat. has lots of features. 3 band EQ, 4 ply pickguard, noiseless pickups sound really good, super piant job, tuners are rock solid. I only have 2 quams with this bass. It needs to be a 35" scale not a 34" scale. And the battery compartment. It really would help if it weren't only accesable with a screwdriver. Ease of Use: very easy to get any tone out of it you are looking for. Quality: in this price range it is hard to beat Value: do I need to say it again? in this price range it is hard to beat. Manufacturer Support: havent had to use them Overall: I dont ever plan on selling this bass. If I do anything I might one day purchase an American Fender Deluxe 5 string in a natural finish.

Style of Music: contemp Christian
