Review Summary

It's a very nice looking bass! Although, it does sound thinner with the original set of strings. After a swap out with some Daddario strings, the tone had the bottom?based sound I was looking for. I LOOOOOOOOVE the ability to alternate between Tap, Series, and Power Tap with the switcher. And it's REALLY lightweight compared to the basses im used to. It's like playing on a kids Ukelele.
