Good mid-priced Ubass
I bought this one as a sidekick to my Kala striped ebony FL. I know form previous experiences that the kind of piezo the mid-price ubasses are equipped with might produce uneven volume balance between the strings. Luckily this one is good! I do not fancy the roundwound factory strings, and changed to a mixed set of flat Aquila and Gallistrings. I have now much better control on the treble side.
Build quality is acceptable but not top notch. Typical chinese build and QC. A few minor issues, like the cover on the hatch that was no properly glued, and some visible glue by the nut. Otherwise fine. The preamp/tuner is rather mediocre. I do prefer a 2-band Shadow over this no brand 3-band. The tuner is not very precise and might make intonation challenging.
Pros: Good quality at a descent price.
Cons: Preamp/tuner. QC could have been better at this pricepoint.
