Never played a bass with a better sounding B string (low). Very versatile in regard to sound/tone; I can make it rock like a P Bass, or snarl like the best sounding Jazz Bass you've ever played. This is a very inspiring instrument to play. It has never let me down on stage or in the studio. The Myrtle body and top combo is a bit heavy but the sacrifice is worth it for the tone I get from this Bass.
