Verified Purchaser zZounds has verified that this reviewer purchased this specific product from us.
I'll be using this for a long while. If I ever replaced it, it would probably be with one of the German-made Warwicks, or with a really high end custom bass. If it were stolen I'd find the thief and take him out ninja style.
Sound
Fantastic bass sound, responds well to any style. I know bassists who play Corvettes in everything from metal bands to jazz groups, the sound is great for everything.
Features
Just a basic active bass. The active electronics are great, and the nut is adjustable which is pretty neat. It also came with Warwick straplocks which work great.
Ease of Use
It's easy to play, mostly because it sounds so good that you want to play it more.
Quality
Seems really solid. I was in a band with a bassist who used a Corvette, half the time we had gigs he didn't even have a gig bag and he'd just throw it in the van with all the amps and guitars (not how I'd treat an instrument, but the point is it's durable).
Value
For the price this is an amazing bass. It's already a good value at list price, and the deal you get on Zzounds is crazy.
The Wow Factor
What can I say, basses are sexy.
