Ortega KTSM-5
Beautiful instrument. The build quality is impeccable. As with all acoustic basses the volume is low when not amplified. This surprised me as the body appears bigger and this in itself is the only issue I would have with the instrument - I struggle to get my right arm around the body and as a result the playability is a bit uncomfortable. Other than that I am very happy with the instrument. Just one side issue - the choice of strings available for acoustic 5 strings is quite limited so maybe look into this before buying.
