There are alot of pros for this bass but also a lot of cons and i will list
them.
PROS: Great looks, nice feel, comfortable, good sound, 22 frets.
CONS: Some might not find it comfortable, sounds better on high wattage
amp 200 watts at the least, finger picking isn't that great cause you bang
the pick-ups and it ruins the sound, and there is nothing worst than the
bridge on this thing. When you take the strings off all the saddles fall
off and i lost one and screws come loose and it'f you mess with it too
much the whole things just falls apart and comoes out of the body. Be
prepared to do alot of repairs with this bass
