Features
I like the way this bass is set up as far as tone/volume pots, and output jack, very convenient for wireless stage application. I was particularly impressed with the construction of the neck, very solid construction with nice inlays. The fret work was only average with the edges seemingly undressed, with the edges of the frets extending slightly beyond the edges of the fretboard making it a little rough on the hands.
Quality
OK... Here's the real dirt on this instrument. This instrument could have been really nice, the neck very well constructed, body style very comfortable, and electronics good, not as much output as a MusicMan but still a good pallet of tones to work with. The reason I say it COULD have been a nice instrument is that the construction and quality control of the instrument was poor. The individual bridge saddles (great idea) were set in individually routed placements in the body, with the lowest possible settings for string height being unacceptably high. This was only correctable, without major routing to the body, by changing the neck pitch. Two of the tones pots were bent, the strap screw on the horn of the body was broken in the body, and as I said before the fret dressing was poor. Owning this bass has been a true love/hate relationship! If the quality control and factory setup had of been good, I would not have any complaints, now however I have a bass I wished I

i love the sound of this bass. it has warmth and depth, and can be heard through the mix, it has a versitile eq built in allowing a range of sounds.

the Eq is noisy at high boost settings. the case is nice, but heavy, and the strap locks are quite nice. it comes with a manual
