I have used this bass for everything. I have used it for jazz, my schools marching music, and metal. This bass sounds great for any style of music. It is one tough bass. It has lived through countless rehearsals outside and inside. The only problem I have with my bass is the strap pins constantly get loose. This is not a big problem though. I have one modification on my bass that I think is really cool. I tilted the top pickup more towards the lower strings, and the bottom pickup more towards the higher strings. This enables me to get a trebly our bassy sound by using the pickup selecting knob. You can tilt the pickups by tightening the screws.

i bought mine in november this year and i dont think i would ever want anything else, the active equalizer sounds so sweet. i got mine in black and it is so beautiful. like the guy from malverne, ny i use it for many styles of music and it is very flexible
if you want a good 5 string w/active equalizer,. this is it

this bass is very good, a very good starter bass for a 5 string, its punchy, adjust mids and tone control, a smaller 5 string for better comfort. this bass rocks
