This is one of the best products I've ever bought. It is basically perfect. Even the colour is great!
Price: $700.00 () (new)
Where Obtained: The Bass Cellar, 22 Denmark Street, London, England
Features:
Made in Japan, ash body, bolt-on maple neck, rosewood 500mm (20) radius fingerboard, 24 frets, (889mm) 35 scale length, 5-strings, two Alnico V double coil pickups, active electronics, controls: master volume - pickup balance - active three-band EQ, solid brass bridge with five individual saddles, amber burst finish
Playability:
Great playability. A bit heavy but at least it stays in your hands...
Sound Quality:
Excellent sound quality. You can get whatever sound you want out of it. From jazz to punk, slap to pick. And this just by playing around with the controls. Personally I love it's full, round, jazzy sound...
Durability:
Had it for 2 years now and it's fine. As good as new...

I would definitely buy it again if it were stolen.
Price: $1600.00 (new)
Features:
Made in Japan. Bolt on Rosewood on Maple neck. Master volume, pan, three band eq. 24 frets, solid brass bridge. Traslucent finish.
Playability:
Good sound and sustain. Wide string's spacing. Cero flaws. Too heavy ('cause of the ash body).
Sound Quality:
Extended sound range. I run it trough an Ampeg SVT3PRO with 8x10 or a Hartke 1415 combo, with good results on both. Quiet circuitry.
