Feature:
not bad. two tone knobs are good but a 3rd would have been better. oh yeah, 5 strings give you the feeling that you can play anything at any time.

Quality:
this thing isnt very sturdy. my knobs fall off a bit and my low b string broke a day after i bought it. i sent it in for a new one because a knob was broken. now my wiring is all disconnected for no reason. expect investing money to repair this a bit

Value:
a good price for a bass.

Desirability:
people do like it a lot. looks alright, sounds good, 5 strings intrigue some people

Sound:
very good sound. won't say 10 since it is a 250 dollar bass but very good for its price.

Ease of Use:
you need to play a 4 string before this or you will be easily confused.

Support:
they sent me a new one, but i would have rather not sent one in at all.

Feature:
Well, you get the guitar and, a cheap cable. The guitar has decent controls- standard. The tuners seem fine- Stays in tune very well. I'll most likely change out the strings, once I get a little more intimate with it... mmmmmm.

Quality:
Very nicely assembled, great finish! It's really well put together for a mass produced guitar. Solid. You can just tell when you hold cheapo axe compared to well built machine. Yes, it's not a 3,000 dollar guitar but, for the money it's perfect.

Value:
GREAT VALUE! I'm really stoked that I got a axe this quality for the price. I'd recommend at to at least check it out if your shopping. Zzounds had the same price as locally and no tax & free shipping. Sweet!

Desirability:
The sunburst was the reason I got it. The reviews on this site and others lead me to this bass.

Sound:
Great, great... No, KILLER low end. Good action. As my first 5-string, I'm really happy with it. I got the little SWR LA10 ordered with it. The tone is really killer and it's going to be great for recording.

Support:
No manual or tech specs with it at all, not even any catalogs. Maybe that's a good thing. Seems very well built. I've heard that Peavey has good customer support, so, hopefully it won't be an issue.

Overall:
Nuff said. Great value - Great sound. Great inexpensive bass. Again I'd recommend to at least check it out if your shopping for a new bass.

Over all, its an attractive bass with a attractive price. The sound is solid, but a little weak. It also tends to want to slip out of tune when not played.
