My first music man. Wasn't sure what to expect. Before I plugged it in I could tell it had the best tone of any short scale bass I have had. I'm still getting use to it plugged in though. The more I play it the more I like it. Set up right outta the box was great. Haven't had to do anything but play it. I like it so much I ordered the full size one, which is 250 less than this one. ????. Must be the real rosewood which I love.
Musical Background:
