A supped up j-bass. nuff said

Sound

This bass is characterized by its tight response and punch. It is amazing. MOre punch than any rick i have ever come across. The neck is extremely fast and thin. Becareful, it will spoil you.

Features

IT is a j-bass. What can i say? THe vintage wound pickups are awesome. I replaced the c$#p bridge that fender gives you with a badass II. It is worth it. The bass has vibe. I would never part with it.

Ease of Use

if your into funk and rock this is the bass for you. The thinnest neck i have ever played and the glossy bound finish lets your hand glide down the neck.

Quality

Solidly built. I worry about the neck joint. I replaced the bridge, Other than that top notch. the finish is fantastic. The pot covers can come off but that happens wiht most fender basses. This baby could dish it out on the road. It has a tough finish so don't be afraid to get wild.

Value

this is an expensive bass. But i never have to buy another one. It is worth it for me.
