All the top shelf materials, commanding sound and great feel of an extremely expensive bass-at an affordable price. The BTB takes the traditional formula of massive body and substantial neck and then adds an even longer 35-inch scale neck. BTB: Big basses with a massive, deep sound.

"BIG HANDS REJOYCE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Overall: 4.5 out of 5 stars
(see rating details)
Yes I would replace it with the same.I was enticed by the design, look and colors. Playability for finger style and slap.
Sound
The sound left a little more to be desired. The highs are not as sharp and stingy as I would like when it comes to slap and pulls.The volume knob doesn't build up volume gradually without having to adjust the bass or pickups volume. The B string is tight and thunderous love it! Weight is a little heavy but if sitting no problem. Playing through a peavey TNT 400w. Better volume control with crisper highs'.
Features
The Bartolini pickups are'nt as warm on this as others I have tried.Love the neck through jack locks and body design.
Ease of Use
Sound adjustment is simple, have to spend little more time twiking to get highs when poping to stand out. Mid to low's sounds' great with the Boss-Super Chorus.This instrument is perfect fix for big hands.
Quality
Minor buff marks from polishing on body around neck area.I can see this instrument lasting for ever.
Value
It's a great price now for an instrument of this quality.
The Wow Factor
YEAH! The wife loves the color (gray). Great body style headstock looks great too.Comfortible if sitting.(weight)
