EHB1005-BKF : Overall great, but there's a "but"

Sound is pretty great, and being able to switch from active to passive is a cool feature to avoid draining the battery when practicing. It's also incredibly light, the neck is very comfortable, and the shape of the bass makes it comfy whether you play with your fingers or a pick. If you're a fat musician like me you've probably noticed that instruments tend to put uncomfortable pressure on your belly and that's not the case here, regardless of strap length. So you can actually adjust the strap for a better hand position without having to worry about your belly. It's the most comfortable instrument I've ever played, including guitars, and if you have to play for several hours for rehearsals or gigs it really does matter.

I said there's a "but" though: changing strings has been a massive pain for me. You have to do it just right, it doesn't handle heavier gauges very well, and a lot of shops aren't familiar enough with it to be really of any help. I had to go through 3 different string packs before settling on a mix and match (everything is .55 except for the D string which is from a .45 pack). I don't know if you'll encounter the same issue but it's been extremely frustrating to the point where I've decided to go to a luthier next time I need the strings changed (which hopefully won't be before a few months)
