Awesome Bass!!!!!
Quality:
Very sturdy construction, solid bass. I would try to keep it from falling or banging up against things as satin is a very soft finish.
Features:
Neck-through construction is one of the best features of this bass. It's hard to find it on basses in this price range. I love that the bridge is of the rear-loaded type; changing strings is as easy as loosening the tuner and lifting the string off of the bass!
Sound:
Musical, modern sound. I play gospel, and I can easily get that scooped mid sound from the EQ
Playability and Feel:
The bass is very light, I'd say about 8lbs maybe. I stand often when I'm playing, and I've never gotten fatigued from the weight of the bass. The neck is on the thin/narrow side, but that makes for a very fast playing instrument. I have big hands, so it's easy for me to fret notes on the B string with my thumb lol! The satin finish on the back of the neck also makes it easy to slide to the upper registers. It doesn't become sticky after sweating or in humid places.
Tone:
This bass is in between bright and mellow lol. It can get very aggressive, especially with mid's boosted and the bridge pickup selected.
Finish:
Probably one of the most beautiful finishes I've seen...especially for a non-custom made guitar. The satin Honey finish over alder and bubinga is absolutely GORGEOUS!! I get compliments all the time about how sweet my bass looks!
Action:
Action out of the box is never right, after a setup this bass plays like a dream. I's not Ibanez SR low (half a micron above the frets :-) but definitely low enough! Tapping and hammer-ons are a breeze to do

MORE BOUNCE TO THE OUNCE
Quality:
built like a tank.
Features:
the action is amazing, sound marvelous, i cant say anything bad about this bass, they should make this in 6 string model
Sound:
you can dial up whatever tone you want ...by either using on board eq and dialing in your sound. also you can adjust your tone by blending the pickups, bridge pick up give you more bright tone, other bridge give you the earth shaking bottom. im running mine thru ampeg amp svt4 and i also have ampeg v4bh. This is 18 volt beast, you wil have to turn amp down, cause this little beauty will tear the roof off the sucka.
Playability and Feel:
From the first time I thumped on this bass, i fell in love. and my bass will never hurt me, or cheat on me. the playability is off the charts, if you dont believe me, check it out for yourself.
Tone:
this question is redundant, if you gonna spend $750.00 and want a great bass, that sound great, looks like its worth twice the price, and has excellent playabilty get it.
Finish:
finish is great. its not a shiny finish, i have had my bass for 4yrs now,and except for the wear marks from my hand rubbing against the bass, this bass still plays, looks like a bass that if had different name on it would seel for at least $1500.00 pound for pound the best bass for this price on the planet.
Action:
EXCELLENT.When i got my bass, i was amazed that a bass that looks this good, and plays and sounds amazing could cost so little.....in comparison to other basses with the quality.

Worth every penny
Quality:
I have played Fender, Lakland and several other brands and this is the best I've ever had. Solid built and dependable.
Features:
The electronics are out of this world! I like the bridge, it was very easy to set the intonation.
Sound:
The tone of the 18 volt preamp and EMG's are amazing!
Playability and Feel:
The neck is narrower then a lakland but not as narrow as the Fender Jazz. The controls are set up a little different and took a second to get used to. The bass and Treble knobs are reversed from most basses
Tone:
It goes from a deep dark growl to crystal clear highs and as down low as your cabs can handle!
Finish:
I like the natrual flat stain. Not as flashy as some models but it doesn't have to be wiped down...if you care about keeping your bass clean.
Action:
The action was a little high, but a few minor adjustments and it was great. And the bridge made it super east to adjust.
