i needed a cheap bass to keep beside my desk, and liked the looks of this one.. yeah, i bought it because of the looks, sue me.. Anyway, when it arrived, I was impressed with the finish quality, and very surprised by how well this thing is put together.. The initial setup was pretty good, but i had to raise the string height on the E just a little, which also changed intonation, but that's all it required.. no big deal, considering some of the horrid setups i've seen on basses costing 4 times as much... Unplugged, it sounds good, and plugged in sounds even better. My only complaint isn't with the bass, but with the lack of cases and gig bags available for short scale basses... Come on zZounds, surely y'all can source affordable cases and bags for everything you sell.. hook us up!
