Playability: 5
For me, this bass plays wonderful. Fast fingering is a breeze, slapping and popping is easily done (wide string spacing), and finger style is very easy. One of the things i like most about this bass is the tight B string. It never flops on me, except of course when if i would down tune, but i stay standard most of the time.
Electronics/Pickups: 4
If there was one more thing id want out of this bass, it would be growl. I can't seem to get a good low growling sound out of this bass. Other than that, I love being able to not touch my amp to adjust my EQ (18v actice circuit).
Tone: 4
Still what brings it down is the growl. Other than that ive gotten tones for my rock band, school jazz band, district jazz band, and classic rock band. Very nice tone.
Overall: 4.5/5
Very nice bass, well worth the money in my opinion. Only think i find wrong iis the growl, but that can always be fixed
