This bass replaced my Yamaha TRB-11 6 string,it's better in all respects!!better tone,slightly narrower neck,much better EQ,and the build is far far better,it has tones from deep to really sharp and funky,the slap tone is much better than the TRB,i cannot believe the quality of this bass considering the price!!i have no regrets at all in buying this,and it also has twin truss rods with dual action,and the great single rail bridge design,please go and try one before you spend your money,believe me this bass is just one step behind my Ken smith!!!!it's that good!GO TRY IT.
