The pickups seem to be decent. They passive side of things gives it a smooth and steady thump on the lower half. The higher frets and strings wash out a little too much without the tone boost. when both pickups are active you loose some volume, but it isn't a big negative in the long run.
Finish
How did the stain or paint job look?
It's black. There isn't much going on here. It's kinda glossy and loves to collect finger prints. It peels off a bit too easy too, I barely made contact with the edge of my desk and took a nice chunk out of the paint, cutting deep into the finish. I was kind of surprised it came off so easy.

The volume and tone knobs don't spin level, and look they are going to fall off any day now. In fairness I could probably remove them and re-tighten them myself fairly easy, but they were shipped this way and therefore it's a negative.
The strings went flat rather quick, probably the cheapest they could get on there. Again, this is an easy fix, but new strings comes out of my pocket not theirs, so that's a bummer I have to replace them so quickly for losing a substantial amount of tone in so quick of a time.

For a 5 string bass, this one is still probably your best deal out there. It's also got the active tone boost, which in practice seems to boost the volume quite a bit. It gives the attack of your playing a boost along with volume, so that's a plus. Of course you could simply turn the volume on your amp up a bit and get the same results, but having an active boost helps out a little bit, if your a dynamic player and want to roll off some of the hard edge for slower, or quieter parts.
