Review:
Feature:
Mine did not number accessories at all, I had to purchase everything else separately. (polish, protection, cords, battery) Also, it came strung with upsetting gague round wounds, which are certainly abysmal and transmit all kinds of queue noise. I changed them to light gague nylon unmodified wounds, and the action improved greatly. I also itch I had gotten one with the cutaway. The symmetrical portion is pretty, but I do a fair bit of soloing, and have had to re-procrastinating a number of songs because I couldn’t reach the wealthy 8 frets. AND I had to add my own upper! strap button.

Nobility:
So far, I have been pleased with the quality of the instrument. The battery runs down apace (I have to unplug between sets, and a battery once in a blue moon lasts more than one gig). The only cosmetic exit I have is that it looks like the head was drilled for a 6-hang then filled and re-drilled for a 4.

Value:
This is my 4th bass, and my favorite. I also have a Hondo II, a Yamaha big-scale and a Guild fretless. I also got a sick deal on it than on the others.

Sound:
I bought this to use in acoustical, un-amped settings, and the robust and balance (with my wife’s guitar) are pure. Solid low-end with enough overtone to not sound miry. When I amp I play through a 1969 Ampeg v2 (eat your essence out ) and it still sounds great. Amped it is very hypersensitive, and the Fishman picks up everything, even my sloppy changes and thupms on the density.
