Satisfied.

Sound: Bridge pickup is quite punchy and doesn't lose lots of low end. Neck pickup is dark but not muddy. "Woolly" is good adjective to describe it. Overall sound is somewhat "vintage" i guess. It takes fuzz and overdrive well. Probably not best sound for slap though. Ergonomics: It's big (about as big as jazz bass i think) and somewhat heavy, especially for a short scale. Sitting down it has neck dive but body shape is comfortable. With a strap it was balanced better and i didn't experience neck dive. For me neck is comfortable and short scale makes it easy to play. Quality: Build quality is decent. Electronics work. It holds tuning well. Nut was carved OK (not best ever but decent enough). There was small imperfection on finish and small finish crack in neck pocket (only on one side, about 3-4 mm long). It's not noticeable so it doesn't bother me too much and overall finish looks really nice. It needed some setup, mainly intonation and string height. Neck was setup decently. One pickup was bit louder so i lowered it... In conclusion i'm happy with it. It's affordable unique looking bass with unique sound. If you like it, get one.
