Overall Your general opinion of this product. overall this bass is amazing in all areas. in my honest opinion i would compare this bass to the newer jazz models Tone Bright and snappy? Dark and smooth? Were the pickups hot, mellow, thick, thin? any tone that you pefer can be found on this bass after you mess with the knobs a little..perfect example of "deluxe" Finish How did the stain or paint job look? paint job is perfect.

Quality Would you consider this product to be made well? How dependable? It seems to be made well. The volume knob moves a little easily for my taste but the instrument feels solid Features What do you consider to be the best features of this product? What features would you add to this product if you could? The EQ and the 5 strings with the slim neck made this the bass for me Tone Bright and snappy? Dark and smooth? Were the pickups hot, mellow, thick, thin? 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
great bass for a great price!

Quality Would you consider this product to be made well? How dependable? The quality and finish is impeccable. It's only going to bet better with age. Features What do you consider to be the best features of this product? What features would you add to this product if you could? 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. Tone Bright and snappy? Dark and smooth? Were the pickups hot, mellow, thick, thin? The best noiseless pickups I've heard. Finish How did the stain or paint job look? Flawless. I ordered a custom pickguard for it, I couldn't stand the one it comes with.
dont miss trying this bass

Quality Would you consider this product to be made well? How dependable? so far so good.as i said beatiful bass. ive used it only twice, but ill let you know. Features What do you consider to be the best features of this product? What features would you add to this product if you could? active pickups. and the smooth playing neck, and appearance is what drew me to it. but the sound will blow you away. Tone Bright and snappy? Dark and smooth? Were the pickups hot, mellow, thick, thin? hot pickups, but no feedback, or noise at all. even with flouresent lights, like in most bars and clubs. Finish How did the stain or paint job look? as nice a finish as ive ever seen. no flaws.
