Coming from guitar playing a short scale bass was appealing. I tried this model and like it a lot. Confortable, light. It sounded very nice but be aware of quality control issues. The one that I tried sounded good but the fret work was poor and the bridge pick up wasn't working (maybe the switch broke). It was brand new, out of the box. Definitely felt cheap compared to the Mexican fenders that I also tried. Mine is the exact opposite. The quality is unbelievable. It feels like it should be three times the price.

Frank Blank Posted December 7, 2019 Share Posted December 7, 2019 Agree with the above. I’ve tried these several times in a variety of shops and the ‘out of the box’ quality varies. Get a good one and, for the money, it’s a great bit of kit. Generally I found them a little heavy with a touch of neck dive but I really struggled not to buy one, lovely basses.

grenadillabama Posted December 10, 2019 Share Posted December 10, 2019 I have the one-pickup version and it has a warm low end and enough highs to be distinct. It is real "polite" and small hands can reach around the rounded neck easier. After this good impression I opened the control area and discovered the body is made of plywood!! Mine is Korean made.
