Did you try this in a shop, yes? A lot of your tonal criticisms sound like they could just be down to old strings.

S.P.

Overly critical imo - yes this is a low to mid price bass but it doesn't feel cheap. The build quality is more than OK, neck fit is what generally let's a bass down  - no issues with mine. Neck profile is chunkier than a standard jazz but not so much that it is in any way difficult to play.  The shallow profile would appeal to slappers for sure.

In house Spear pickups are adequate  - if you want to swap them out that’s your perogative but who is going to spend more on pickups than on a whole bass?

Tuners/ machine heads are your typical elephant ears - seem to hold tune OK so far.

If you don't have great expectations you won't be let down. It's an unusual beast and that really is going to be its USP.

Well that wasn’t a very popular review then. 😅😥

As pictured would probably have helped

Maybe, it was a long time ago, and the first comment assumed I was so dumb I couldn’t tell when strings were dead. I’ve owned around 400 basses and have a pretty good grasp on what’s what after 30 years semi pro and pro playing. But tbh, this kinda makes me not want to bother contributing.
