I've had my FRETTED Rhapsody HB for almost a year i guess. This thing has a
definate unique sound. Very woody, Natural, Earthy tones. Would be
fantastic for Jazz or Blues. I play Kinda Hard Rock, and it works great.
With a nice high out put pickup...
I'm able to get a nice low action for some pretty smooth action, Although
the bridge is kinda tough to adjust, but with a little persuation
everything is great...
A friend played it and thought it was a $800 bass, and it certainly seems
like it !!!
