impressive

Music Background: Gigging musician
I was extremely impressed with the playability, sound and quality of this bass. I've been playing for 35 years and never taken the plunge on a 5 string but glad I did. It's a little heavier than a 4 s... read more [+]tring but really not bad and it looks and plays extremely well. As a newbie to 5 strings I initially found it very alien after a lifetime with Fender 4 strings but the extra string adds great versatility. I played a bunch of 5 strings before getting this and I really don't regret buying this at all, love it!! close [-]

I played a friends Squier Vintage Modified Jazz Bass (Natural 5 string) and was both surprised and impressed. So I bought one. Have to say, I love the feel, (the neck) and the tone. The Douglas Designed pick-ups sound great. I also think it's a great looking bass. It puts out plenty of volume and punch even though it's passive. In reality, it's a he!! of a 5 string Bass for the price. I plan on playing this Bass a lot. close [-]
