When I first put my hands on it - 6 years ago, It felt like it has always been there... I bought it on the spot, it just felt perfect.
The sound is very good; focused and punchy.
The neck is sleek (just like Pedulla says) and very fast. Today I would prefer a wider spacing bass, especially on the bridge side, but I think Pedulla offers this option at no extra cost.
Other than that, it's a top-of-the-line instrument. Superb craftmanship that results in a VERY stable & beautiful bass.
