i expect to be satisfied with this bass for years to come unless an electric issue presents itself,if i change anything about it period i'll put a sadowsky 18volt preamp in it.if this product were lost or stolen id replace it but im so impressed with it i would most likely invest in a pricier model such as the warwick thumb bolt on.it doesnt come with a case so i plan to invest in a new one for it.
Sound
this product sounds great with the active electronics and the tone shaping capabilities,keep in mind its not warwick thumb neck tru lol.
Features
its very simple to use the features are the corvette 2 band active preamp its easy to use to dial in tones on the fly,excellent gnarled metal knocks u can reach down with ur pinky while still playing and adjust
Ease of Use
very simple to use contols no more difficult then a fender jazz bass but not as simple as a fender p-bass but alot more powerful sound then either.
Quality
this thing seems to be built like a tank i expect it to last for ever unless an electric issue presents itself wich i doubt MEC electronics are very reliable
Value
for this price it cant be beat,it sounds and plays better then anything else in its price range im highly satisfied
Manufacturer Support
dont know what to say here havent had to call support.
The Wow Factor
this bass is very sleek and attractive in its minimalistic state it doesnt need a funky paint job to grab attention the wood grain is beautiful and smooth to the touch
