Very Impressed!

This bass is so incredible! I upgraded the preamp to a Delano Sonar 2, and that Mostly fixed the on-board preamp overdrive issue, or at least good enough. These pickups are HOT! Not sure why they didnt add bridge PU toggle to this one, but easy enough to add. I set mine up P-Only/Single/Parallel and it is excellent! Also have the LaBella through-string flats which are a dream on this. Only downside is the weight, not much else against it.

Good bass for the price

A good budget price bass, quality fretboard incorporating s/s frets and good active setup, a bit neck heavy but overall very good for the price

Wow

What a beautiful instrument. Right out of the box it sounded absolutely smashing. Good intonation and great playability. One of the best 5-string p-basses I have tried and with a good MM part it`s a winner.

I had to use 5 min on the nut to make the strings connect with the zero fret but afterwards there was no buzzing.

From day one it has been used in the studio. Can't wait to take it out on the road. Thank you!
