"Totally worth it"

Feature:
no special features. i just wish it came with a hardshell case instead of a gig bag.

Quality:
I actually bought the blem version of this bass because it was cheaper. when it first arrived, i looked all over for any sign of a scratch or blemish. i couldn't find one. this bass was in great condition.

Value:
considering that this is the best bass in the world, it has a pretty reasonable price. while shopping for a bass, i was deciding between this bass and a gibson thunderbird. this bass was less than half the price of the gibson and a million times better.

Desirability:
the black inlays on the maple fretboard are hot. the black finish is great. i also love the shape of the jazz bass.

Sound:
The sound on this bass was better than any other bass i had played. i am a huge fan of rush and wanted to match the tone of geddy lee. if i want, i can have a real mello tone or crank up the tone knob and have a ton of punch.

Ease of Use:
if you know how to play the bass, then you should have no problem. i own a fender precision bass and i hate it. playing on the neck is like playing on a tree trunk. i love how thin the neck on this bass is.

Support:
don't know and hope i don't have to find out

Overall:
this is the greatest bass ever made. if you are looking for a bass, without a doubt, buy it.

"Badass Geddy Lee...got to love it!"

Feature:
Three knobs and a jack input...that's all you need. I like the pickups and the Badass bridge is just that...badass. The only thing I'm going to do is change strings.

Quality:
Just by looking at it the quality looks good. After playing it I'd say the "guts" of the bass are good too.

Value:
It's seems to be a lot of bass for the money. The MIA goes for $200-$300 more but I preferred the GL over the MIA.

Desirability:
I like it a lot. The jazz bass has distinct features anyway but the GL with the maple fingerboard is NICE looking. The looks, sound, and playability are all great in my opinion.

Sound:
I'm giving it a 10 but it does need different strings on it. The sound is great. I went looking for a MIA Fender Jazz but after playing the MIA and the Geddy, the Geddy sounded better and felt. better. I think it's hit and miss anymore with the MIA and Japanese basses. The 2 MIA just wasn't what they are cranked up to be and I didn't like the S switch at all. I play through an Ampeg BA-115 but played it through a Trace Elliott 4x10 stack and the bass rumbled, growled, and when favoring the neck pu it was warm.

Ease of Use:
I find it easy to get all the sounds I need just by dialing in the controls. I've had "active" basses but I'll take the passive jazz any day. The neck is thin and smooth...easy to move around on.

Support:
I'll give a 10 but I haven't had to deal with them yet.

Overall:
I'm sure I'll get another bass but I won't part with the Geddy. I'm keeping this beauty. If it were stolen I'd find another GL and then hunt down the thief so I'd have 2 of them. I really wanted a MIA jazz but I felt that the Geddy was better overall. So I guess that's my only dislike, it's not MIA.
