...Being a co-designer with Hugh Davidson on this model...of course i think its a great bass..... its a very flat backed neck....much like a Ken Smith....the body has a very forward race to it... which makes it very comfortable.....the body is contoured much like a Strat.....the pickup is very hot.... but noisless.....a real plus.....i use a very low action.....and with the "B" string set as low as i can get it... i still have yet to produce any fret buzz....which tells me that Hugh did an exellent "fret dressing" job..... the weight of this bass is about 7 1/2 pounds....very lite.... I have an assortment of basses.....this is the all around best one of the bunch....it can be seen at www.freeyellow.com/members2/levite
