Bass is very heavy and the body is very uncomfortable. The neck, however is very comfortable and easy to play due to the narrower string spacing and its flatness. The strap buttons are very tiny for such a huge bass. The tone of the bass is decent and is nothing special. I would recommend this bass just because it's John Myung's signature model.
