5 String Semi-Hollow Must Have

by Clay Hinson from Athens, GA USA
April 6, 2013
Music Background: Pro Musician
Saw this in BP Mag and new I had to have it. True to there word Sweetwater was the first to have one in stock and I am grateful that I ordered from them. It came out of the box with perfect action and... read more [+] intonation thanks to the hands on luthier inspection and setup that only Sweetwater offers.
This is a medium/short scale and took me a little bit to get accustomed to the difference of my other 35"scale 5 strings.
I was concerned before ordering of the low B being floppy with the shorter scale length, relieved to find the low B full and robust with a taught string tension.
The fit and finish of this guitar rival guitars costing 4 times the price.
This guitar sits and hangs perfectly without a hint of neck dive that I was afraid it may have being a semi hollow.
I played my first gig with it last night, a charity festival that I performed with 2 different bands, 1 country the other alternative rock. It was stellar for both and turned more than a few heads and raised lots of curious questions.
Cannot say enough good things about this bass!
Get you one and you will not regret it! close [-]
