A lot of bass, but with rough edges
First off, this bass sounds incredible and has all of the features I wanted for a very reasonable price. However it is let down by the finish.
The back of the headstock is rough as sandpaper. There are several small humps on the neck and body where the finish is uneven. There are white marks on the dark panga panga.
Given the price, if I'd have bought this form a local guitar store I'd probably have returned it or had them fix the issues with the finish.

Amazing Bass - Arrived perfectly setup and ready to play
Feels great.
I'm used to multiscale from my 7 string guitar but on the first frets of the A5, especially of the D and G strings it's a bit much.
I'll often avoid playing down there because it just feels so weird. That might be a me problem though.
However the rest of the bass is fantastic.
Excellent access up to the 24th fret and the EQ style tone knobs work great for crafting tones and making small changes on the fly.
As a guitar player at heart the slightly closer string spacing is welcome here.
Delighted with my purchase

This is a quality instrument, and I enjoy it immensely
I couldn't get this bass in the States, so I ordered here.
Delivery was painful, as the carrier was "inefficient", to be polite.
I was concerned when the bass arrived, because intonation was awful, but after a brief examination it was clear the bass was never properly set up.
Truss needed no adjustment, even after a trip halfway around the world, so that was impressive. The neck through build really shines here.
After about 20 minutes of trying to figure out the intonation adjustment mechanism, I was able to make all the changes easily.
The build, tone, and diversity of the instrument are all now quite good, especially for the price point. The sustain is practically infinite.
There is a very slight amount of hum on string contact, which makes me think the bridge could be better grounded, and the battery compartment should be quick change, and not a floating snap on, but I can swap that out easily.
All in all I'm extremely satisfied with this purchase.
Oh, the multi-scale took me all of 12 minutes to familiarize myself with, and the intonation is SPOT ON, on every fret. If you're concerned about switching to fan fret, do not be afraid of this bass.

Great for the price!
Was expecting a Premium Gig Bag as described in the details. Instead received a hard case. That kind of disappointed me!

Near perfection
The sound of this bass is incredible for this price. This instrumrnt gives a bassy but bright tone that fits great in rock and metal with a modern sound. The brightness in its tone also provides a strong advantage for various playing styles like slapping, tapping and playing with a pick.
One thing to complain is that, a few frets on the side of the fretboard do need a bit more polisjed. But other than that, everything is fine with the bass, even the set-up is perfect when the package arrived.
