This is a pretty nice instrument that I've been playing for several weeks now. Good value for the $1000 USD I paid. Quick delivery too---I received it in two days; kudos to zZounds' sales team. The bass sound is classic, clear, mellow, and the controls make it a little more versatile. My .02 is this is NOT for hard rock or metal. The bass has the classy, thumpy bass sound when I play through either of my two amps--either a 25-watt bedroom amp or 150-watt portable gigging amp. The tones I can get, the quality and finish are all first rate, and I even like the dark reddish mahogany. I'm primarily a plucking player doing worship and classic rock songs. The bass will require action adjustment for some of the individual strings for thumb-slapping style. Effects pedal: I occasionally use only one pedal (SpectraComp bass compression pedal) and it sounds wonderful with it. I can't comment on the support, because I haven't tried it, so middle three stars for them. The only thing on the bass that is missing is an active pickup option--minus one star for that. But I would definitely buy this bass again for playing in a worship or classic rock coffeehouse band or even a jazz band.
