This is a Dran Michael Signature series Warrior Bass, number 8 in the production line. It is the easiest playing 5 string I have ever had my hands on, and everyone that picks it up is overwhelmed by its sound. Everyone. You don't find many instruments like this.

What really impressed me, and something that should be a big selling point, is the level of customer service and support you get when you buy this instrument. I bought it from the Warrior Gallery in Atlanta, and you cannot beat them. They stand behind their instruments and bend over backwards to insure that the instrument is exactly as you want it to be.

(This is why I bought the bass. I have not found another bass, even other War

ich sound with tons of punch, regardless of whether I am amping through my Cla
rus or )
Customer Service	100%
