QUALITY:
I have bought 4 or 5 brand new basses (along with many used ones) during a 40 year career and this one is the best made basses I have ever bought, I am very impressed with the workmanship. I expect it to outlast me.
FEATURES:
I think the design itself is one of the best features, I'm not only talking cosmetic, the whole concept, the neck through body, pickup placement, scale length. The only things I would like to see added are a three way pickup switch like the Rickenbackers have, maybe a fretless option and maybe a single coil pickup option, but it is a very satisfying bass right the way it is.
EASE OF USE:
This bass is a very easy bass to play, I like the scale and the neck. The set up was perfect. the neck is fairly narrow at the nut like a J bass which I like and fans out but is still not too wide at the bridge end. This bass would be very easy to play for someone with small hands. The neck feels very comfortable and it | |

QUALITY:
This product is made of the highest quality humanly possible. I've dropped it, slammed, it scratched and it has not one mark to show.
FEATURES:
The 'Classic White' finish is an amazing stage stealer and the bass itself delievers a perfect sound.
Not to mention with the product also comes a hard shell Gibson case. The case itself, is a beautiful piece work on it's own; not to mention, the case is a tank.
EASE OF USE:
The strings are spaced rather high off the body but they tild as you move up the neck. This gives a fast moving low end and a solid high when playing.
The pickups act as good anchors for playing with fingers and the strings are spaced a little wider then common for "picking" room.
VALUE:
After playing this product for a few weeks, I would easily come to terms with paying triple the price I did. This bass is well worth it.
SOUND:
Versatile, bright, sustaining, perfect. | |
