Adam and Jackson knocked it out of the park with this one. The look of the bass is beautiful, and the TONE. I work a lot and have built up a reasonable reputation. I’ve played it on the different gigs since I bought it and every single time, musicians I respect highly have complimented the sound of it. Can’t recommend it enough.
