Classic Fender tone, in many varieties. Very flexible and easy to get new sounds. Nicely set up, very playable. The construction is top notch on mine. I replaced the Fender strings with D'Addario EXPs, though.

This is a very lightweight bass but there is nothing lightweight about the sound!

I prefer a tobacco burst, but the black sure is classy looking!
