I waited about a year-and-a-half for this bass, and I was not disappointed. It's fantastic! Beautiful sound, beautiful to look at. The varitone settings are a neat feature - there are 3 settings - 50, 250, and 500. The low setting is max tone (almost like an ABG) at low output; the upper is max volume with narrower tone. They represent taps on the internal impedence transformer. The low setting is perfect for backing folkies; the high setting really roars! I've been working with this thing for a while now, and I just can't find anything wrong with it!! I'm in love!!!
