9 out of 10Feature:
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.

10 out of 10Feature:
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

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.
