It's price is pretty cheap for the begining bassist. It's shape looks OK.
what I don't like:
It is heavy. The neck warps. It is very cheaply constructed. The pickups are downright horrible. It is very heavy. It doen'st have a lot of controls. The strings rest too far away from the neck and produces a very tacky sound. It is a "slow" bass that makes fast bass lines sound funny. The Bridge is just down right cheap and withing a few months, strings start breaks because the neck gets warped and the bridge gets all messed up. note:
I know there are a lot of negatives but for a first bass I cant REALLY complain. I mean at least it is a bass and you can learn riffs and scales etc. But for jamming with other people, It just doensn't stand to the test.
