Cato Posted March 13, 2016 Share Posted March 13, 2016 (edited) I got one for my 18th birthday 23 years ago & I've had it ever since. Status pickups & headless hardware, needs tuning about once a year*. It's similar to a jazz bass in sound although the pots are master volume/pan/tone, which I reckon gives you a bit more control over the overall sound than a standard V/V/T. The active tone control is maybe a little bit feisty. I've never been exactly sure what it boosts or cuts but at full rotation the treble will take the top of your head off. The only problem I've ever encountered with mine is that the grub screw at the nut which allows it to take standard strings is busted on the D string.It's not really a problem though as I always use double ball end strings with it anyway. All in all a very nice bass. *may be a slight exaggeration. Edited March 13, 2016 by Cato Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnFitzgerald Posted March 13, 2016 Share Posted March 13, 2016 If the neck is anything like my Energy, it's the finest I've ever played. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
