Having owned this bass for 6 months, I can only say I've grown to love it more every month. The build quality and tone are superb. I switched out the original pickups with '62 Custom Shop pickups (highly recommended). The original pickups.... leave something to be desired. Now my bass is as good as any American standard sound wise and looks better than any one of them too. You will get comments and complements wherever you take this bass. A great P that truly stands out.
