Big Bang for the Bucks.
Sound
Thanks to it's active pre-amp, you can get a wide variety of sounds. The coil splitter for the rear pickup is very nice too. It very easily goes to a very growly mid-range sound.
Features
Good wood, comfortable neck, and I'm really impressed with the playablity overall. Very easy to dial in a lot of different sounds.
Ease of Use
Initial set up is pretty good. Had to do a bit of work on the intonation. The action is low. You do get a bit of fret clank low on the neck, but I like that. Kinda Chris Squire-esque. The two-band EQ is very easy to use.
Quality
It's a well made bass. Good finish, fit, and I was really pleased with the fretwork. One problem I'm having is that I can't find a Hipshot Detuner that fits.
Value
Damn good bang for the buck.

Haven't had to deal with them
The Wow Factor
It has a retro vibe to it, both in looks and sound. If you are looking for a Ric or Hagstrom sound on the cheap, this is a good option.
