Tattoo Short Scale Bass : Very good basic bass

First of all the neck feels good. Frets were good even after shipping. It obviously requires a proper setup first. The strings are D'Addario strings so they are great, For a Mahogany body I was expecting something much heavier but it is very light. I love the design. I first tought the tattoo art would be painted but it is actually laser-etched so it certainly wont rub off. The moon style pearl inlays are also very cool. Pickup sounds suprisingly good. sort of vintage p style As always opened it up and took a good look at the electrics. It has mini pots. vol/tone. Decent soldering job. Nothing to go wrong there since its very simple Despite the size of the guard on the back the routing is just so the parts fit. The only con really is the tuners. Change those. I would also actually use even lighter set. It has 45-100 set and what I would put on it is the Daddario EXL220S wich is 040-060-075-095. Just because I still think the 100 is a bit thick for the short scale. I might also change the pickup in the future for something that suits my taste more. If you are just starting to play bass or want to playt something more complex then this is the right one for you.
