Feature:
Nice fast neck and well adjusted from the factory, intonation was set perfect.

Quality:
For this money it is fantastic!!

Value:
The best buy around for the price!

Desirability:
Great looking Red Flamed Maple.

Sound:
I just sold a Carvin BB 75 Bass I have had since 1995 and this B154 has just as good a sound!! I play jazz and want a full sound thru the full scale of the instrument, this has it in Spades!!

Ease of Use:
It took no time to set up the sounds I was looking for. I put a new set of Rotosound stings to replace the ones from the factory.

Overall:
I tried several moderately priced basses before buying this one. It will last me for as long as I keep playing. If it was lost or stolen I would buy the same one again.

Just amazing quality, never failed on me yet.

Very good price for an amazing bass.

Once you play it, you will fall in love with it.

Ease of Use:
Easy to hammer on and pull off. Frets are close together. VERY easy to get used to!

Never used it yet.

I will keep it for a LONG time.

Feature:
The active EQ in this thing is awsome. This is prolly one of the only basses in this price range that you can get that has a flamed top and an Active EQ. I think the only other bass i found under 300 with a flamed top is the peavy millenium and it costs more than the B154.

Quality:
Its just flat out awsome.

Value:
Best bass for the price.

Desirability:
BEAUTIFUL!! the red on the flame top is amazing

Sound:
This bass is just flat out amazing. I still have the factory strings on it and its still amazing. The active EQ is sweet. You can have a ton of low end or a ton of high end depending on you liking. I absolutly fell in love with it the first time i played it.

Ease of Use:
AWSOME. It took me all of about 10 minutes to set it up. The neck was curved in when i got it(prolly from shipping). That was easy to fix. It comes with all the tools you need to adjust it.

Support:
Ive never had to get support for it. Its just that good...

Overall:
I love it... thats all i have to say

Feature:
The Features are great. Im still getting used to the differnt Active EQ features. Im not quite sure what each one does yet.

Quality:
The see thru paint is really great. It looks awsome. Everything feels nice and firm. Good overall quality

Value:
Best bass in its price range. Style, sound, quality, everything.

Desirability:
The styling design is very appealing. It looks sweeet.

Sound:
The sound is amazing. The active pickups are sweet, its much louder than my previous passive pickup bass. It has that nice raspy type of sound i was looking for. I dont even have it plugged into a bass amp yet, the sound is great on the guitar amp, but when i get my new bass amp i bet it will sound even better.

Support:
Havent used it yet, but im guessing its excellent.
