I view this bass as my last bass purchase ever... If it's stolen or lost, I absolutely would get another one just like it (once I stopped crying!)
Sound
I finally bit the bullet and ordered this beast (4 string, natural woodgrain) and it sounds amazing! Beautiful deep growl, yet bouncy and with incredible clarity.
Features
Easy to use (the classic has the two eq knobs, bass and treble). Simple, elegant, functional!
Ease of Use
The setup from the factory is fantastic (I literally won't need to adjust anything). Nice, smooth low action, without any buzz anywhere on the neck.
Quality
Beautiful natural finish, protected in high gloss. The knobs have a great, stable feel to them, the body is pristine and the neck and fingerboard are perfect.
Value
While it wasn't easy to put nearly $2K towards a bass (since I'm not a full-time musician), I think the price is VERY well worth it. This bass is perfect for any style, comfortable to use, solid, and I believe will ultimately be the best and only bass I'll ever have. (I sold a P-Bass and an ESP LTD to get this one!)
Manufacturer Support
I have inquired on several occasions prior to owning one of their products and they have always been responsive, helpful, and quick.
The Wow Factor
It's a classic beauty! Distinctive both in sight and sound!
Musical Background:
10 years off and on. Semi-pro, original and covers. Playing this bass through Ampeg SVT-II Pro Premiere (#180 of 250)
Musical Style:
Rock
