Verified Customer zZounds has verified that this reviewer made a purchase from us.
I am most pleased with this bass. The pickups are very responsive. The bridge pickup is very articulate and helps bring out the high end of the bass. The neck pickup allows the bottom end to boom. The tone knob offers a lot of treble, which gives more room for dialing in the tone and sound you want your bass to have. The sustain on this bass is phenomenal. I was very surprised considering this is an import bass. The tuners work well, but they could be better. The bridge is very high mass, which contributes to the sustain, and easy to set up. The neck joint is well fitted. The stock strings are decent. The neck is very smooth and fast. The bass is not too heavy. It is a lighter bass that can be played while standing. There were no blemishes on the finish.

Musical Background:

I play in a praise and worship band for my church. I have been playing for three years.

Musical Style:
