Very well-crafted instrument. One piece bass.. No screws... No calibration.
Sound
Bartolini pickups are on of the neatest pickups out there. The unique-bridge for each string makes the bass not buzz in between strings. and the Midrange knobs just really make the bass roar in the mids specially with that 200-600hz frequency switch.
Features
Again the singular bridge for strings is awesome. midrange knobs are too. Also another cool thing is the separation of the strings, makes it really easy to slap, which is one of the reasons I also got this bass. Lock on the for the core so when you perform and you step on it, it won't come off.
Ease of Use
The amazing cut in the back makes it extremely comfortable to play up high. Lock on the for the core so when you perform and you step on it, it won't come off. Separation of strings makes it easy to get your fingers in there and slap.
Quality
Amazing piece of craft-art.
The Wow Factor
Separation of strings. Single cut bass. Single string bridge. Bartolini pickups. The cut in the back. Everything about it is the wow factor really.
