If it were stolen my life would be unfulfilled the rest speaks for itself
Model Year: 2001
Where Obtained: Guitar Village
Features:
Koream hand made, mahoganym 24 fret 4 string. Active Volume, bass, treble, mid. H/H active electronics. Twin active humbuckers. Ripple. Jazz,
Playability:
This baby loves being slapped, and popped, and fingered. much more manageable, frets are well distributed, with optimum comfort and movement. flaws - it needs a 9V battery to work - i got a rechargeable one, so it isn't a problem, and the pickups are well worth the effort
Sound Quality:
Just a crappy linebacker. funk, rock, metal, pop, classical, anything. sound is full plays dam good, needs no mods. it can be as loud as it wants. it's amazing for both studio and stage
Durability:
It fends well, needs retuning every so often, and cleaning definitley reliable

It's brilliant, I love it. Buy one...now
Price: $350.00 GBP() (new)
Where Obtained: Guitar, Amp & Keyboard Center
Features:
A beautiful shape and finish, what I believe is a sunburst over satin (?) check my member page for a pic. Gold hardware, two nice size, active pickups, 24 frets, matching headstock. There are four knobs, volume, and 3band eq
Playability:
Very easy to play, it's not as smooth as a fender, the back of the neck can get a little tacky at times, but still very easy to play, I play generally restimg my thumb on the pickup, which with this bass is very comfy compared to other pickup styles like p-bass.
Sound Quality:
I currently use a 30w marshall at home to practice and a 100w marshall with the band, and good sounds can be achieved with both. The 3band eq allows you to attain a wide variety of sounds. The band I'm in is rock based and I prefer playing more funk orientated stuff, this bass works excellent for both.
Durability:
So far so good, I've owned it for 8 months now, one of the knobs is loose, I think from being damaged by my stand, a couple of small dents in the back (also from my stand)apart from that tough as nails.
