I own one of these girls, a lovely red one too
Was my first 'proper' bass, and reading previous posts I totally agree with people's reviews, it is a beautiful bass.
Really versatile, great neck, and I personally love the retro look. It is definitely worth the money (as a passive bass).
The pre - amp is not great, and so the active sound is pretty poor compared to my other actives (Spector Euro, also have a Status Kingbass coming sunday ).........And mine also makes a funny noise when you turn her over to active.......
But for a passive bass they are superb. Open pole pickups aren't great for slap so keep that in mind, tends to complain at that.
I still have mine, and even though she hangs on my wall I still use her and couldn't part with.
Hope that helps good sir.
