A great long scale Gibson bass! Two Gibson humbuckers, splittable, that give a wide variety of tones. Also has a killer three band EQ, with sweepable mids , and an active passive switch. Definitely versatile tone. Long round neck, different feel than fender basses. Was easy to adjust the setup with the babicz bridge. Feels solid and heavy. Get a wide strap!

Sound

Smooth even tone. Very versatile shapable tone options.
