Published on 10/30/02 at 15:00I'm am in the school marching band and this is the bass of their choice. It's a 5 string bass and I'm not completly sure how much it costs but models that look like this one run from $900.00 up.
I love the sound you can get out of this bass. It has 2 jazz style pickups and they sound great. The action is pretty good and the neck plays great. On a plus side it can handel a lot of abuse. It's a school band bass and A) I've dropped it 3 times. B)It get tossed around going from competition to competition. C) People in the band are idiots so it gets abuse by getting hit with mallots, case stepped on, and it was thrown around on a shelf and manhandeled. In short it sounds great, has a great feel and can handel absuse. They had this bass for 5 years and it looks barely used.
Their is only 1 thing I dislike about this bass and that is that the bass constantly goes out of tune. It's not because it's outside, but while inside it can sometimes get out of tune heavily. I also don't like the machine heads but that's probably from the abuse so I won't hold it against the bass.
The qualty of the unit is great! It comes with a lifetime warranty with the bass but I don't know how they live up to that. As I stated before, it takes constant abuse for 5 years and still looks, sounds, and feel almost new. This is a high quality piece of equipment.
I love this bass sounds great, feels great, great quality just the tuning thing
