What else can I say. I practically stole a piece of art. This bass sounds awesome, but the high end can sometimes be useless if you are not slapping. I use this bass with a gk800rb and it sounds great. The active electronics really give it that extra boost and I can always find the sound I am looking for. I use daddario slow wounds with it and it works perfectly. Its oiled neck is very fast. If I had to do it all again I would buy the stingray even if it was over a thousand dollars.
