Features : 6
22 fret fretless bass with nice 'n' slim maple neck and fingerboard. Ash/Alder body probably??? P and J type pickups with two volumes and master tone. Well finished in gloss balck. Chunky chrome hardware. Comfy bridge for palm muting if thats your thing

Sound : 7
Only just got it so can't really judge. The strings are ancient so don't help but apart from them I think it sound good. Can be quite punchy with the J pickup but is a bit thin on its own. When you add some P pickup it warms and fattens the sound a suits the lack of frets well. Good variety of sounds but I will probably change the pickups at some point.

Action, Fit, & Finish : 7
Seems to be well finished. The neck is lovely. Control cavity cover looks cheap but its round the back anyway. Paintwork seems tough

Reliability/Durability : 7
I wouldn't know yet but it'll probably go for a while. Everthing works as it should so only abuse could make anything on this bass fail. It does feel very light so that may be a problem but at least it ain't trying to break my back every time I pick it up

Customer Support : No Opinion

Overall Rating : 9
Ive only had the bass a few days but the moment I picked it up I liked it. Its very light but doesn't feel flimsy. Good range of tones and plays great. Very happy so far..................
