This bass is a work of art. It is not only very cool to look at, but it is a great bass to play. It is so comfortable and easy to play. The action is perfect, the intonation is perfect, and there is no buzz at all. It is amazing! The passive controls have voicing filter switches which give this bass many tone options. I still can't believe this is a passive bass. There is absolutely no hum at all and everything sounds punchy and clear. Highly recommended.
