I got the CRB 5 and also got a Saratoga 4. Best of both worlds. Seriously, this smokes an American Fender P bass. You will not find a better tone or feel on bass in this price range. For that matter this beats any Ive tried in 1k price range. If you're thinking about it. Get it. You will love it. This plays every bit as good if not better than my MusicMan family reserve.
Sound
Great classic rock/p-bass sound.
Features
Its a p-bass style Tobias. There are strings, a volume, and a tone knob. They work like they're supposed to.
Ease of Use
Sweet.
Quality
For the price of this instrument, you really cant ask for more. Can't give it a 10 cause its not a custom made. ;-)
Value
Nothing in this price range can touch these basses.
Manufacturer Support
No reason to try and use support.
