It seems to be made well. The volume knob moves a little easily for my taste but the instrument feels solid
Features

The EQ and the 5 strings with the slim neck made this the bass for me
Tone

The tone can vary given the EQ but I took the pickups out and put Nordstrand pickups in which sound much better. Prior to doing that the bass sounded good but the very low mids were missing. The new pickups make the bass much better IMHO
Finish
How did the stain or paint job look?
Paint job is good. I have the black with the tortoise shell pickgaurd which is a nice contrast

The quality and finish is impeccable. It's only going to bet better with age.
Features

The pickups are outstanding. The onboard EQ is even and clear. You really get the rich tone even with subtle notes. A higher mass bridge would be nicer, along with a slightly longer scale for the B string.

The best noiseless pickups I've heard.
Finish

Flawless. I ordered a custom pickguard for it, I couldn't stand the one it comes with.
