When it first arrived, the strings buzzed a ton, and would mute completely when I used the 1st and 2nd fret. After some tinkering, though, the buzzing and string action were fixed, it wasn't too difficult. Since then, this bass has been great! I'm trying to start a metal band with some friends, and my bass tone's very aggressive since I absolutely beat on the strings with a pick. I've hit the strings as hard as I can and they've stayed in tune. On the other side of the coin, the strings mostly stay in tune when I leave the bass sitting for a few days. Only times I've had to tune are when I leave it alone for a week or so. The tone of the bass itself is great, and very versatile thanks to the 3-band eq. I'm still tinkering around with that aggressive tone I mentioned earlier, and it's easy to forget how much of a difference the 3-band makes!All in all, great bass. Other than the setup required when I first got it, it's done me well the past six months.
