Surprisingly positive impression
The playability and sound is very good. Even my wife says this bass sounds very good. I am playing it through a Genzler Magellan 350 head connected to a Fender Rumble 410 cabinet. I am very pleased and happy. I do not regret buying this bass. It will be my main bass for sure. No doubt about that.
The bridge was not intonated properly from the factory in Mexico. Luckily I know how to intonate a bass. I experienced my clip on tuner was not giving the right tuning information espesially when intonating the B-string. A pedal tuner showed me to be good enough for the job.
The gear ratio on the machine heads (20:1) could have been better. Especially the B-string machine head is very sensible when tuning and intonating the bridge. Sometimes in the future I will probably exchange the machine heads to the compatible Hipshot HB7 which have better tuning ratio (27:1). Higher gear ratio allows the machine head to rotate in smaller increments. This gives better tuning control when tuning and intonating, especially the B-string.
Do I personally recommend this bass? Definitely.
With a bit of setup there is nothing that can beat this bass in this price range.
This bass is the right ticket for the 5-string bass world!
