My bass came within a week of ordering it. The sound on this baby is off the charts. String height was sufficient out of the box. No tweeting was needed for my taste . Really enjoying the ability to muffle the each string verses using wraps. Wicked all basses had this setup on their bridges.

I intend to use this bass for many years. If it gets stolen I would probably buy another.
Sound
I've been playing StingRay 4's for several years and just added this 5 string to my collection. It sounds exactly as a StingRay should, no surprises here. I play it through a Genz Benz Shuttle 6.0, Ampeg SVT, and Hartke setups.
Features
Everything you need to play bass.
Ease of Use
Setup perfectly out of the box, only took me a short time to get used to the 5 string neck and string spacing. I used it on a gig 4 days after I received it.
Quality
Action and neck were set up perfectly, absolutely no adjustments needed. It's obvious they are attentive to detail before these basses leave the factory.
Value
It's not cheap, but you get what you pay for. Since I purchased mine in May 2011, the price in August 2011 has gone up $300.
Manufacturer Support
Haven't needed them for any issues.
The Wow Factor
It's not supposed to be sexy. However, it is one of the best 5 string basses on the market.
