Very nice body, bass was way lighter than I expected I have played lots of ash and 70s style 5's and was expecting a tank, was pleased at the low weight. Materials are all top notch.
Features
What do you consider to be the best features of this product? What features would you add to this product if you could?
I love the modern neck profile on this bass. I used to play other modern brands because fenders where never very comfy to play for me either to thick or to thin. This one is right up there with my Laklands and Sadowsky experience neck wise. Love the B string retainer looks much cleaner than in the past.

Great bass, worth the step up from the American standard just for the playability
Tone

Tone is what you would expect from this wood combo but I am also able to get nice warm smooth tones along with the bright snappy funk.
Finish

No blemishes in the finish anywhere. The body is a 2 piece no sign of a glue line.

There's 6 knobs on this bad boy (master volume, pan pot, bass, treble, mid, tone) plus 1 active/passive switch. In active mode, the pick-ups buzz a little but that's to be expected.

I'm more of a Latin, Latin-rock, classic-rock, blues-rock, R&B player. This bass fits the bill for almost all styles. I'd say this bass won't work for you if you're a heavy metal player.

I chose the reddish wine finish and I've gotten a lot of compliments on it.

It is impossible to pick any feature as being the best part about this bass because everything is top notch. The action is perfect, the natural finish is breath taking, the neck is super fast and not to chunky,and the pickups are as quiet as a church mouse.

Again, there is not one sound that you can imagine when it comes to bass guitars and sound you can hear in your head you can get out of this bass

There are no words to describe how breath taking the natural finish looks. On a scale of 1 to 10 the finish is a 12.
