I started playing bass 30+ yrs ago back then I started out buying Fender imitations from Ibanez and such. After having peaked buying an Alembic I have come back out of curiosity and on a whim bought this bass.
Well let me tell you, it did not disappoint me. There is nothing this bass cannot do, its light has a fast neck and the electronics remind me of my Bartolini equipped basses. The finish and fret-work are impecable. The only reason I gave it 4 stars is because the center indents on the controls are hard to feel making it hard while playing to center them, but that is all. I highly recommend this bass to any beginner and certainly to any Pro needing a more than decent back-up. Highly recommended, excellent buy.
