Body is made of lower-grade U.S alder, 24 frets on the fingerboard.
2 humbuckers (Washburn 951 and 953), active preamp with 2 band EQ, big bridge, one volume, 2 EQ, microphone switch.
The maple neck with a rosewood fingerboard rather fluid and easy.

UTILIZATION

Good ergonomics, soft handle and easy to play.

SOUNDS

The active pickups and eq allow great versatility of heavy through the lens of the property and all round it in direct console (the preamp is very effective).

OVERALL OPINION

I've had 2 years I traded against the same in 4 strings (XB400) frettless which sounded quite terrible.
it's a very nice 5 string bass well balanced and very enjoyable.
The current value for money is very good, I paid 4000Fr (600€) for my XB400 a decade ago.
