Quality Would you consider this product to be made well? How dependable? The fit and finish of this bass is great for the $$. I can't vouch for the materials but I can say after 5 years the original setup still holds. I have never adjusted the truss rod. I bought the Grind as a backup but, it has become my main bass and, I am about to buy another one. 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 best thing about this product is the price. Incredible bargain. Tone Bright and snappy? Dark and smooth? Were the pickups hot, mellow, thick, thin? The tone of this bass is deep and heavy. If you are looking for poppy, bright slap tone look elsewhere or plan on a pickup change. Neck through means deep. Finish How did the stain or paint job look? The finish was raw wood. At first I was taken aback but after a little lemon oil I love it. I bought mine when they were still scalloping the horn.
Suprisingly Good

Quality Would you consider this product to be made well? How dependable? The frets could use a little filling ( a very little) they don't cut but you can feel them if you drag your hand on the G side of the neck. I haven't had it very long so dependability is something I cannot comment on. Features What do you consider to be the best features of this product? What features would you add to this product if you could? Two pickups, two passive tone controls. Psshh who needs active electronics, this combo can get you almost any sound you need. Tone Bright and snappy? Dark and smooth? Were the pickups hot, mellow, thick, thin? Pickups are fairly low output, but I think that has more to due with their distance from the strings. I would call the tone dark and aggressive. The tone controls can get you to raggae depth but it retains a nice tightness to it. Doesn't fart out at all (although that has a lot to do with your amp of choice) Finish How did the stain or paint job look? The finish is smooth and really shows off the wood. Looks stunning.
Great for the Budget
