34"-scale neck.
21 frets.
5-piece maple neck with rosewood fingerboard.
Basswood body with blistered maple top.
In-line machine heads.
Dual-action truss rod.
Die-cast bridge.
Two jazz-type, low-noise passive pickups.
And the blistered maple top is WONDERFUL!

UTILIZATION

Very pleasant neck: neither too thick nor too slim!
The access to upper frets is not the best, nevertheless it does allow you to easily play "For whom the bell tolls"!
It's a bit too heavy but it has a killer look!

SOUNDS

I play with a Line 6 LowDown 15 amp using the rock channel. I set the drive control of the amp to the center position and I turn the knobs on the bass all the way. The sound is perfect: fat and round but also with a punchy low-end! It's perfect for wild, head banging freaks!

OVERALL OPINION

I've been using this bass guitar for a couple of hours and I'm already fascinated!
I like especially its shape: it's a Jazz Bass with a killer look matching its fat sound! By the way the Lamb Of God bassist plays a Peavey Millenium! And the value for money is great for a 5-string lefty!
I wouldn't hesitate to buy it again! (except if I had enough money to buy a custom-built bass guitar made by a luthier...)
