Fantastic instrument. The bass sounds great, looks great and is well built. However, it was marketed as a brand new instrument, but I was sent either a floor sample or returned item which was not disclosed. Other major vendors of musical instruments are very clear about these situations at the time of sale and price the product accordingly. Adorama was not up front about this and only when I called them on it was I offered $50 off of a $2000 purchase. This sullied the purchase experience for me, thus only 3 stars. I won’t look to Adorama in the future, nor will I recommend them to others.
