This is NOT a jazz bass!!!

If you’re going for the Jazz bass tone avoid this bass. This bass is more in the Wictor Wooten style sound. It sounds very modern with snappy highs for slap. The preamp is very high quality but the pickups compliment it superbly. The licensed hipshot tuners do their job and the 0 fret nut makes the open string notes sound the same as the fretted ones. You can set a ridiculosly low action without fretbuzz on this bass. The neck pickup is far enough in the back for you to slap comfortably. And the best part - it’s feather weight! 3.8 kilograms! However mine came with the pickups wired out of phase so i had to correct that using my soldering iron, which is something to note.

All in all, a decent bass for the price! But if your going for the jazz bass tone this will not toot your horn! Fortunately I have use for it in my sonic arsenal. Would buy again!
