As all their bassess are handmade, handfinished and properly setup before selling, action and set-up are never going to be a problem. Each bass is finished aesthetically to a very high standard as well.

Bought it, took it home and kept it in a draughty flat in which the temperature fluctuates between 5 degrees in the morning to about 25 degrees when the electric heaters beast it and 5 months later the truss rod needed NO adjustment.
