Use: at home, occasional gig. Through Ampeg Portaflex 500 and 2 4x10 Kustom cabs.
Like: pretty much everything about it. I like blue guitars, but that’s just personal preference. The rounded edges on the neck are a lovely feature that makes playing even for long periods a pleasure. Starting at the headstock. Excellent high geared tuners, holds its tuning very well. Nut, perfectly set. Fretboard, rolled edges, well dressed frets. Neck joint, no gaps or blemishes. Bridge, I like the option of string through (the way it is shipped) or bridge string location. Saddles are rollers. Electronics, this is where the bass really shines. I no longer need to use different patches on my Boss effects pedal to radically change tones. The range of sounds available is truly astonishing, even if it takes a few minutes to get exactly how it all works. Intonation, mine was set up perfectly, I didn’t have to touch it. Also the action was at a height that suits me, not too low, not too high, although again that is a matter of personal preference.
Meh: The headstock looks a little bit too large in my opinion, a little too wide. The neck is C which is like my older basses, although I have in recent times become more accustomed to an Ibanez neck profile. Only a minor issue for me as I will happily play just about any neck profile, but worth mentioning if any potential purchaser has a serious dislike of C necks. I don’t suppose it would be a good idea to stand it on the pointy end at the bottom of the bass very often.
Overall, I am very happy indeed with this bass. I’ve hardly used any of my other basses since it arrived.
