As someone who only plays bass about 10% of my time playing live I thought I shouldn't go crazy on the budget so I came here looking for something comfortable and versatile.
When I received it, it was set up excellently. There is only one super tiny cosmetic flaw on one of the side-neck dots, but it took a couple of minutes of searching to find just that. Frets are done well, and the bass is well-balanced. I'm no tone expert, but I think it sounds solid, and the pickup selections allow for diverse tone options. The strings that came on it are VERY BRIGHT on the bridge pickup but that will likely mellow down once they're used a little more.
Overall, Very impressed with the quality of the build and the attention to detail. The neck is just beautiful with the side inlays and multiple colors used.
This is EXACTLY what I was looking for.
