From the moment i opened the box, i fell in love with it. Its stunning looks are only surpassed by the way it plays.
Ive had mine for over 4 months now, and i still love it to bits. It's active pickups are simply wonderful, with no noise and an active pickup selector it can be used for any form of music, be it a heavy, grindy rock, or funky jazz.
Suprisingly, it doesnt stop there. The factory set up was just perfect, the action and trussrod didnt need even the slightest adjustment, and the factory strings that were fitted are some of the best ive ever used.

Well....pretty much nothing. Although bass has no active equaliser, this isnt a problem for me as i use a laney hcm120b bass amp which has a 7 band equaliser.
The only thing i dislike is that it looks too good. It looks so good you want to try and keep it that way, and its not easy to clean the sweat from the painted areas.


Ive never seen construction quality this good. Every part of the bass was perfect and had no sharp or rough edges.
Thats not all though, this things as solid as they come, which could prove a disadvantage if you intended to trash it in a gig.

i absolutly love it and would recommend it to even the most experienced bassist
