U5 NT MN Short : Remarkable Quality for the Price

5 years ago

I was surprised at the build quality of this bass - couldn't fault it and it played well out of the box. The bass is light and balance good. To be honest it doesn't sit quite as well as my Fender Jazz hanging off my body but that's something you can grow into. Soundwise there is a little hum from the stock pickups suggesting earthing / shielding might need improvement - but nothing too distracting when playing. The volume from these passive pickups is fine, tonally I just needed to EQ out a little nasal middle. Given the remarkable quality of the bass I'll maybe look into changing the pick ups out in the longer term.
