I've tested this bass for some months already. It's light, the back doesn't hurt when i stand up and play. The sound is surprisingly good i really did get some great tones out of it, though the pickups can get a bit noisy in some situations if i leave the neck pick up at like 20%, but just with a bit more gain, but i figured that out and it doesn't bother me. Its solid, action and setup is good out of box, the neck doesn't feel extra premium being maple and raw not polished, but its still very playable. Definitely recommend !
