I've had the bass for slightly over a year now and I can say that I'm very satisfied with it. Even ignoring the price, it is a very good quality instrument that is quite good for recordings. It came perfectly intonated and set up in general and although I don't usually hammer away too hard on it, I can still safely say that this will stay in tune very well.
The P pickup has a lovely sound to it that I have no reservations recording with, however the J pickup doesn't quite stand up as well, however I usually record with the P on full with the J at only a small volume, which in my opinion is quite pleasant sounding. I've noticed that the lower strings are quite noticeably louder than the higher ones, but adjusting the pickup height mostly fixes this, albeit with some mild tonal sacrifice.
The build quality is very satisfying overall but the control cavity's routing comes out slightly from beneath the pickguard, which is a barely noticeable cosmetic effect. One of the dot inlays in the twelfth fret popped out at one point as well, but I was luckily able to find it and after pushing it back in by hand, it's stayed put since.
Overall, I'm very satisfied with this purchase and have confidence that it will serve me for many years to come.
