Dud
I got a dud. Treble side frets all sprout proud. Picking up the bass by the neck or playing it for a minute left my left hand with micro cuts. Bad QC.

It is a lot of bass guitar for the price point
First impressions, this guitar seemed very heavy. It is a beast though with a number of tonal options. The fit and finish looked and felt great.
