This is a really nice bass. I really like the electronics. There are
many fine tones available and easily accessable. The pickup selector
switchs are very handy for rapid tone shaping. The general tone of the
bass has a nice growly jazz sound. The B string is pretty good,
though it seems like it might be a bit loose. My only complaint about
this bass is that it is heavy.
