shop around
the asking prices on these varies a LOT, so shop around. The body and neck are great. Low action, really good flatwound strings (how weird is that? They appear to be laBella flats), but be aware that this bass needs medium scale strings. The tuning machines are very nice, the neck is one piece without a scarf. medium-light weight, and well-balanced with the right strap, but slight neck dive with a slick strap. The tone is great, with very deep bass, but it is truly a one-trick-pony sound-wise. A Hofner 500 (or any other bass for that matter) offers many more tones if that is what you're after. If you want a cool bass that has a deep, thumpy, 60's tone, this will probably satisfy you. Nice workmanship (better than the originals for the most part). I would have liked slightly better fret work, but it plays up and down the board fine. truss rod works well, volume/tone pots are full-sized, but the jack is cheap, so I replaced it with a Switchcraft. The case is fantastic. I really like this bass. As I said, shop carefully. This bass new can vary by as much as $1000....what?...yes. I saw them for $1600 and also for $450 new. used they range from $600-900. that is nutty stuff.

Very Cool, Gig it Dig it
After reading other reviews prior to my purchase I was somewhat hesitant to buy one. Upon the unboxing, I was blown away! All I did was tune it up and was ready to go, factory setup was spot on. Does the Motown Trip Hop Chill bass lines for me but is easily suitable for other styles and genres. The case is also really nice. (Been playing for over 25 years have owned many guitars and basses)
