Sound

This guitar I compared with Fender bass, Ibanez, Yamaha, I like the sound, I use it for classic rock, funk, r&b.
I am using a Fender bassman 25.
Noise from the pickups pretty minimal.
The sound is great, how can I describe the sound not too boomy not too punchy depending on the flick of the switch and settings on the amp and room lay out and and volume and tone settings on the guitar.
Action, Fit, & Finish
:

The action was perfect from Rondo Music
Pick up adjustments was spot on (precision & jazz)
minor flaws on mine, but overall everything was fine the saddle a bit cheap looking, gotoh sealed tuning machines were gold plated also and I really am pleased with the hardware.
Reliability/Durability
:
8
This bass will withstand it all
The hardware is pretty stable
The finish is good the gold plating like with all plating will wear off in time.
The strap buttons solid, truss rod and neck adjustment seems sturdy.
This bass guitar I would use at gigs and as a back up.

Overall Rating
:
10
I started playing guitar at age 13.
Bass guitar I started in 2001.
If this bass was stolen I would want another copy of this model,
If I can upgrade anything on this guitar would be the saddle.
The pickups even though unknown sounds just as good as on a Ibanez $600 bass!!!
