Value For Money : Excellent
Korean bass, 24 frets, 2 active blocks, Bolt, materials (wood) of good quality, especially low in this range. The finish is not perfect but it's not a bass luthier, either.

UTILIZATION

Level use, this bass has only one fault: it is its weight. Indeed it is extremely heavy and therefore not have enough back pain after two hours of play up. If the handle is very nice, and the balance is good.

SOUNDS

The fact that it is not very heavy at random: it is made of solid wood and therefore it sounds very "wood" and very well. Lots of sustain, precision correct. especially if the rope does not sound like cardboard like lots of bass 5 string in this price range.
I use a fairly limited range of sounds (with a compressor over EBS) and I do not slap me but it seems still quite versatile.

OVERALL OPINION

I play it for 6 months and the only flaw that I find is its weight. Otherwise the price / quality ratio is excellent, it costs as much as my Ibanez Ergodyne and is well above questions sound.
In short: a very good choice if you are not bothered by the weight.
