I was slightly intimidated by graduating up to a 6 string. I was originally looking for another 5 string. NTL, This bass is awesome!. Easy to play. Variety of tones. This bass is very well made. Very solid. The specs on this is remarkable. It could cost much more! The price is stupid affordable. This bass could be priced in the $1000.00 plus category. This my first 6 string bass, and most likely be my last. I bought this bass to play sweet chords type melodic music. Shipping was great, received in 2 days, after purchase. ZZ, thank you! Lastly, if you want to pay more, go ahead, but why? Try this bass, It is all about the sound, and tones you are able to achieve. Not all $1000.00 plus basses sound good. You pay for the labor it took to create that bass. Try this bass again. read all the reviews from other sites. This bass, ROCKS!
Sound
I give this bass an A+, period I have been playing seriously for 8years, and playing the bass as a fun outlet, since 1983. Does not matter your style of music, this bass can hang hard and then some. I play through a Carvin MB15 250w and Carvin 15 cab. The setup on this bass was good out the box, but I am going to have it set up and tweaked a little for my personal use. As far as making it sound better, it sound real good. Sound is a personal choice. Play it and form your own opinion. Just being honest.
Features
Made very well. Very solid like I said earlier. The Ash body, maple neck, hardware and PU are very good. I thought I was going to have to change them for EMGs. Not happening! The EQ works exceptionally well.
Ease of Use
Easy if you are not a beginner, and you have a descent good ear for sound and music. Achieving the sound you are looking for, is easy. The only downside, which is small to me. It is the weight. This bass is not light, nor excessively heavy either. I say get a good padded strap. This bass would be uncomfortable for a small person. This is a big boy bass instrument. Just sayin'!
Quality
Great job on making this bass, give it an A+. Like anything, you take care of it, it will last you a very long time.
Value
Great value...Totally under price. I not complaining. I look at the product first, before I look at the price on everything I buy. Like I said, "you can pay mega more, and be disappointed".
Manufacturer Support
Have not had a need yet. I hope for the best services if I had too
The Wow Factor
Very mature sexy looking bass. For you single people out, that need bait to attract the eye candy. This bass will do it. I am married, so I can not say chicks will love it...lol You will not be disappointed. This is a true "BAD AZZ BASS" that will not break your wallet. Your band members will be very impressed. Do not play a good bass out of a crappy amp, and vice versa.

Nice bass. Especially for the money. Well crafted, details are tight, setup out of the box was just fine. I'm a professional musician, playing since the late 70s.. I gig a couple times a month and play on the worship team. I like this bass. A lot. No reason to go into details on action, sound, feel, since that is all subjective anyway. Just a nice bass, and for the money I havent had better. If you want better, spend the thou or more.You still might not touch this bass for under 12-1500 really. But again, it's all subjective.

I bought this bass around March 2013. I wanted to try a 6 string and found this bass and ordered after I found one in a local store and tried it out. At the time it was $429. I’ve had the nut changed to a bone nut. Other than that there have been no need for modifications. I love every single thing about it.

Bass was setup perfect right out of the box. The only problem is the weight. A little heavier than most 6 strings I have played in the past but can still handle 2 sets before back starts to feel uncomfortable.

"GREAT SIX STRING FOR THE MONEY"
Verified Customer

IM VERY HAPPY WITH THIS PURCHASE, Bass looks and sounds great. Quality control is little bit lacking as one of the knobs was loose and had to be tightened and there is about a quarter of an inch of binding that is not there it just stops then starts back up again. It has a sticker on the bass that's quality checked in the USA. Well the guy who initialed missed these easy to spot errors. But over all its a keeper and very nice to look at and play.

"great bass"
Its a great bass for the price, sounds great, sustain for days, pretty easy to get a ton of tones, only real issue, its not the bass in the picture...its a B206sm, but the 12th fret marker is just 2 dots, not the B-206 sm Bar marker, not a big deal but disappointing, needed a bit of set up and adjustment on arrival, but definitely a steal at this price.
