Published on 11/11/03 at 15:00Bought from Musician's Friend for $279 because I needed a bass for my recording.
Extremely good build quality and finish. Good balance and comfortable to wear. Came with a case -- most companies don't offer a free case until the $800 range!
The sound isn't all that easy to control -- I wasn't able to get a straight-forward Precision-type thud. Then again, I wasn't using a proper bass amp. I still felt that a bass at this price range would do better to have simpler controls -- I find the pan control useless and the mid-scoop redundant -- I'd rather do my EQ on the sound board or the amp.
Excellent. Beveled edges, luminant transpared blue finish, finished headstock, smooth tuners and good strings all for under $300.
This was a good bass, but I wish it had simpler controls. Excellent value for money, though.
