"Minor fret issues - otherwise GREAT BASS!"

I'll keep this one a while I am sure. I may replace the pickups eventually just for a different sound, but once I have the frets fixed it will be a great player. I would give it a 10 if it were not for the fretwork.
Sound
Good solid tone, very consistent. Flexible electronics, quality pickups.
Features
Everything I needed, neck-thru construction and tilt-back headstock, plus a very thin fast neck. WOuld love to see a coil tap for the PUs but no big deal, I can add that later.
Quality
Excellent construction - reminds me of the multi-thousand dollar boutique basses in neck and body construction.
It does, however, need some fretwork. Mine came with a couple of too low or too high frets. I am taking it to a local tech I use to fix it. Not a major thing, but it does require this extra work.
Value
Super for the money!
Manufacturer Support
I don't know.
The Wow Factor
Curved body ala Spector and some others makes this a very desirable bass to me.

I simply Love this Bass.
Sound
Excellent, Wide variety of tones, you can get almost any sound you want from this Bass.
Features
Super construction excellent set up right out of the Box. Korean Barts and preamp are excellent. The wood grain is incredible. The nexk is awesome super sustain. No Dead spots on this neck!! Love the arched back. This Bass could be priced at twice what they sell it for and it would still be a bargain.
Quality
Quality control is excellent.
Value
I don't think you can get a better Bass for the money.
Manufacturer Support
I am only giving it a five because I have no idea so I figure five is fairly neutral.
The Wow Factor
The looks of the bass is amazing. The pictures do not do this Bass justice!
