24 frets with a small body similar to those on Hamer guitars or SG guitars. Everyting feels great! The neck is a joy to hold, there is a lovely metallic glitter all over the body. It looks like a small bass though it does have a full 34 inches.

This sounds great. Deep, boomy yet with it's own clear voice. Everyone I know has been impressed with the sound.

This is my only criticism of the bass. The body's weight does not compensate for the head's weight. Thus I found myself (unconsciously)squeezing my shoulder up and use my right forearm to keep the bass diagonal. It is fine when sitting down or for short sets but standing at a lengthy gig really hurts my shoulder. I still use it live but I swap with other basses.

This is the perfect (passive) bass guitar bar the compensation of weight. I have tried to add weight to the body but to no avail. Maybe I should cut off some of the body! Nevertheless I have used it for recording purposes and it can be found cheaply. If you are a "sit-down" bass player this is a good choice.
