I have done the research. They say the out jack is weak, nope. They say the intonation is off, nope. They say the volume pot changes drastically. nope. This is one solid bass, albeit a one trick pony , I would argue that there is plenty of tone control from the master vol and tone, The poly is thick but I like it, maybe you won't. I never buy a guitar without playing it first so I was nervous about this; I am not disappointed at all other than I didn't have this bass sooner
