I do not think you can do better without spending over twice the $418 I paid for this fine guitar
I was surprised at how nice this guitar is-it played and felt great right out of the box-I'm new to fretless, so the markers are very helpful-thanks
So, if you're looking for a vary smooth R&B / funk sound, this may be the right choice for you
It is still a good bass to check out, with a slightly slimmer neck (depth wise) and wider string spacing, but I find that the tone cannot be shaped as well as with the ESP
i deducted a star because it came poorly setup with action way too low and bridge not adjusted for proper intonation, but once i fixed that, it has been a good instrument.

Outstanding instrument for the price, but really just an outstanding instrument period.

The spalted maple is attractive, but tends to look as if it was several chunks of wood that was glued together
I couldn't be more happy with this peice of art, the spalted maple is gorgeous

Obviously you will get the most from this bass with a nice amp, a compressor, etc, and maybe swapping out for pickups that fit your ear

I've been going straight into an old solid state amp, sounds fine

The tone quality of the active pickups is top notch and the bass provides an effective 3 band eq

I replaced the strings with flat wound and like them much better.[EDIT] 1 year later and the bass still sounds and looks great

I would highly recommend this bass to anyone who is looking for a relatively inexpensive 6 string for any genera of music
this bass is a 35" inch scale giving the low B string a very nice tone with a nice string tension
After I removed the original cheap strings (that left a dark-grey deposit on my fingers) it came with and replaced them with DR Low Rider strings, it still doesn't sound impressive
In comparison to my 5 string p-bass, it's got a lot smoother sound and much lower action
When your fingers slide along the strings, the sound is consistent and not choppy
The bass is great, incredible sound for the money, just had minor issues (loose screws) and a tiny scratch not eye noticeable in the mast... but overall I'm very pleased
A friend o'mine have a Schecter, but I don't like the sound
