zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us.
Quality:
The construction and finish is excellent. It came out-of-the-box ready to play. No adjustments were needed.

Value:
I wih it was cheaper...but ya "get what you pay for."

Desirability:
The Mike Dirnt gets everyone's attention. My muscian friends appreciate the look and sound. Others just like the look. I got the Sunburst.

Sound:
This bass "cooks!!" I love the 51 pickup which provides excellent tone to rock and r&b music selection. Quality instrument cables are a must to aviod some buzz from the pickup. I enjoy my Ibanez active bass however, the construction and sound of this bass seperates from the others. Playing through my 2x10 SWR with a 115 ampeg extension lays out a strong clear sound. Make sure you get the 3.5 guitar strap for the extra weight.

Ease of Use:
You will need to use the eq on your amp to change tones. This is expected with a passive bass.

Support:
No need to contact Fender to this point.

Overall:
I extremely satisfied! I have a vintage Univox fretless, active Ibanez and the Dirnt. Adding the Dirnt to my collection has me set. I would get another if anything happens to this one.

Feature:
OF course its features are cool. You have all those vintage features from the old 51' basses with a modern badass bass bridge I htink min eis special because i was able to get it in artic white. Maybe its a new colour because when i got it from the music store i looked up its product number and it was brand new. And yes i do have a black scratch plate and a black star sticker on the bass.

Quality:
This bass has such good quality. You can tell by how a bass feels whether it could beak or if u drpped it off a building it wuldnt even dent.That is this bass. I also own a Flea bass 4 string in flake blue and i only use that for certain songs in my band when i need to tune down.

Value:
For the money it is definatly worth it. I rather use the dirnt than my flea which has about a 3000 dollar difference. I think id get another mike dirnt You can never have too many basses

Desirability:
It is sexy It looks good sounds good Simple to use Has all the upgrades people would usualy get for fenders e.g 59' pick ups, BadAss Bridge II

Sound:
This bass is the bomb. The pick-ups are awesome and are sooo loud. When i plug into my Fender 810 bass amp You can hear the walls starting to crack and the neighbours running down the street.

Ease of Use:
This product is very easy to use. Like every other p-bass except for those deluxes it has a volume and a tone knob. But if your amplifier has lots of EQ's then you can make any sound in the world.

Support:
Like every one says. Its a fender they dont get better than that. And there easy to reach

Overall:
If you read above you can see im pretty satisfied with this bass and i will definately get a few more to my collection in the other colours. this bass blows the american p-bass out of the water by a long shot This should be noted as one of the best. I wouldnt mind to have a model with 22 frets but apart form that it is awesome. cya
