This bass is fantastic for the price. The fit and finish are absolutely wonderful. The setup was pretty good right out of the box. It only required a little bit of tweaking to get it right where I want it. The tone is exactly what it should be. Classic Jazz Bass all the way. The hardware is pretty correct to the era they are going for. It could use a better bridge, but it is what they came with back in the day. It works just fine. I wouldn't hesitate to use this bass onstage or in the studio.
