I love this bass, my first 5-string. Love that low B, but also the high frets on the first string sound sweet enough to play bass leads on. Very flexible, high quality, great palette of sounds and easy to play. Flawless.
Sound
Combo of pickups with independent control knobs offers a truly outstanding variety of tones, from bright and sizzly to dark and warm. I can play any style with this bass. A touch of overdrive really brings out the rockin' best of this bass, too.
Features
Great pickups, great tone control.
Quality
Solid, sturdy; quality finish.
Value
Having played it, I would expect this bass to cost MUCH more.
The Wow Factor
Not bad looking in titanium, but I prefer the look of the F-series... just didn't want that active pickup hassle.
