A great sounding bass with lots of clear top end and punch. Not
a lot of versatility in the sound. Nice feeling neck, very thin
and playable. Beautiful metal flake white pearl finish. One
of the pretiest basses i have ever seen w/ all gold hardware.
And the finish was virtually indestructable. The strings were
a bit too close at the bridge which slowed me down quite a bit
in my fingering and made slap very difficult. For the money,
an outstanding bass.
