Overall Rating:
I chose this bass because the reviews on ActiveBass were amazing. I got a lot of bass with a such a low price point. This bass is awesome!
Model Year: 2009
Price: $0.00 yen (new)
Where Obtained: Mikigakki.co.jp
Features:
Made in Japan, Maple body, Rosewood neck. 24 frets, 34" neck. 4 knobs, 1 volume, 2 individual pickup controls, 1 tone. 2 pickups, HH, active electronics Closed-gear tuners
Playability:
I generally play jazz, rock, and blues, with a hint of classical. The bass has sharp attacks, and mellows out quickly for a nice even warm tone. I love playing this bass and can play for hours at a time.
Sound Quality:
I use it with a Roland MicroCube Bass RX as well as through my computer to record. I play unamped sometimes too. This bass sounds good in all varieties. The sound is very warm and adaptable to different playing styles. I did make one change to it. I took off the original strings and put on flatwound strings and this bass responded well. Sometimes, the strings felt a little high on the neck, giving a slight buzz, but with adjustments, it sounds great.
Durability:
This is a great bass and I would totally feel comfortable playing it live and in a studio.

I chose this one b/c of the price, overall looks, playability, sound, and effects. If lost or stolen, I wud definately buy this bass again. This bass actually cudn't be any better. I have no worst aspect, but my favourite aspect is the sound and how tough it is. Ok. In my opinion this is like the best bass, with the exception of all Warwicks and Rickenbackers. It is better for intermediate to experts, but can be very good 4 beginners. Buy this bass!

Playability:
I can accomplish anything on this bass. The neck doesn't affect yor playing b/c it doesn't strut out. It plays incredible. It does not contain any flaws at all!
Sound Quality:
I use a Yorkeville 300 watt amp, a Boss OC3 Super Octave pedal, and a Boss Dr. Rythm drum machine. I play mostly classic rock! It is suited 4 all styles. The sound is full. The soud is better than other basses i've played. It is not noisy. It is great 4 both stage and studio!
Durability:
It is reliable enough. It doesn't need 2 be adjusted alot. The hardware on my bass is holding up well. Wtf r u talking about climate changes? lol
