This is the second bass that I have owned in the past 30 years and this is a pure joy. It played great right out of the box ( It needed very tuning and no set-up). The alder body gives it a very warm sound. The blue burst finish was beyond perfect and one can see the grain of the swamp ash top. I have had no reason to take it back for servicing. A bass that one could play a lifetime and then be buried with.
