Very Impressive!

I just got this bass late last week and can't say enough good things about it. Sure ... if someone handed me a $3500 custom shop bass, I would probably be blown away by it, but considering THIS bass cost less than $600, the fit, finish and hardware are exceptionally nice and solid. The limited run copper finish looks like it belongs on a bass that's at least twice as expensive, and the pickups sound nice and punchy with no annoying buzz.

I'm somewhat of a beginner on the bass (late 40s), so I didn't want to spend a lot of money to get started -- but I didn't want to buy a super low-end bass, either. I know that every penny counts, but I highly recommend getting this bass vs. buying a Squier if you can swing it. If you are a beginner or casual player, you will get years of use out of this model.

Sweetwater set the bass up very nicely, too!

Excellent Bass

I have had this bass for a month now and have played it extensively in both practice and live situations. It has exceeded my expectations. I like the wide range of tone that can be achieved with this bass. I consider myself an intermediate level player and this was the first upgrade over my 'beginner' bass. It came set up nicely and ready to play out of the box- just needed a slight intonation adjustment on the G string- no big deal. Overall I am very satisfied and think this will serve me well for a long time.
