Features
:
9
Headless neck-through 24 frets, 4 strings, volume, tone, 3 selector switches.
H+H pickups marked with the omega symbol. Passive.
Body is rather small and lightweight, but with a long and rich sustain.
Sound
:
7
With four coils configurable in a lot of different ways, the sound can be adapted for different styles, maby a bit veak in the jazz department though it packs a punch with the right stack.
Some settings are rather noisy, others not.
I know this one can never rank along the famous basses, but I like the look and sound.
Action, Fit, & Finish

Almost everything can be adjusted on this bass, even the humbucker angles. Keeps remarkable well in tune. My bass was stowed away or "kind of lost" for 14 years and was in perfect tune when found it again.
Reliability/Durability
:
10
I??ve tried to kill this one on gigs and garage rehearsals, but it it still around. The black paint can withstand a lot of beating.
Strap buttons look a bit flimsy, but I??ve never had much of a problem with them.

Overall Rating

If I lost this one I would have to try and forget.Never seen or heard about anyone else having this type. I paid next to nothing and for that it??s amazing value. Btw. you better know how to use a soldering iron. Electronic workmanship as by monkeys with too much sake.
