Got this to cover the low-tuned songs I wanted to play after a few years with just a regular P-bass and it's definitely a very different experience.
The neck - exceptionally slick neck, very thin, took a moment to adapt to how tight the string spacing is but the neck feels great. Could do without the white binding, but that's more of a cosmetic issue. The fretboard, as usual, arrived bone dry and strung with awful strings but oiling and restringing a new budget bass is standard practice. The fretwork is adequate, no sharp ends, but I will have to file one or two of them down a bit and it definitely needed an action adjustment
The body - Very comfortable to play, contours fit my hands nicely, no sharp edges cutting into the forearm. The Neck pocket is very deep and contoured, so the high frets are easily accessible. One downside is the body is smaller and made of a lightweight wood, so it has a bit of a neck dive, not a dealbreaker, especially with a proper strap, but the dive is noticeable.
The electronics - quieter than expected and quite trebly, but the humbuckers sound nice and thick. I'm still more of a passive guy, but at least the low B sounds nice and clear. The EQ isn't too intense, just enough to adjust to the situation on the fly, maybe scoop a few mids or roll off some treble (though it feels nothing like a passive tone knob, I might mod one in later). Coil split is something I rarely use, but it's nice to have, it does come with a slight volume drop though so you'll need to adjust the EQ and level. Passive switch is also nice to have, and passive mode has virtually no volume loss, but I do miss that passive tone.
Overall - decent 5-string for the price, electronics are in my opinion the weakest point, but those can be changed, what's more important is it has a great neck and looks gorgeous
