caruso Posted April 26, 2009 Share Posted April 26, 2009 The overall construction is acceptable as the bridge on the one I have was not correctly fixed with the strings not running straight to the headstock. Had this fixed and now I really like the bass. Deep tone, kind of woody, playability for my normal sized hands good, a bit uncomfortable playing it sitting due to the large body. Sounds great with a tube amp (old Dynacord Bass King). Hardware sturdy to withstand the normal use as the whole bass feels very strong and stable. Choice of strings is an issue as flats I like best on this bass, one had rounds fitted but then the bass lacked character ( my opinion, of course). Sounds good new but gets better with time played regurlarly like acoustic guitars do. If you want to know something specific just ask. Cheers C.

4000 Posted April 26, 2009 Share Posted April 26, 2009 I've played 2, one through a Superfly/Accugroove set up (hated the sound through that), one through a cheap Hartke combo (loved the sound through that). As above, deep tone, quite fluid sounding; nice. The balance is very poor though; very headstock heavy (I'm really aware of this due to problems with my neck and shoulders; anything head heavy is out the window for me).
