Review: Three Stars - Bass is great, I'm super grumpy the price dropped $150 a few weeks after I bought it.
Review: Great bass for the price - This is my first 5-strings bass and all I can say is i'm amazed: For the price you're paying you're getting a huge quality instrument, out of the box: the neck is straight and the strings are very close to the frets board, no need for a truss rod adjustment (in my case), the sound is very clean but i recommend to change the strings due low quality, really lightweight and very comfortable while playing. The two ESP SB-5 pickups are just great, they really cath all melodies without noise, active 3-band EQ is really well made and delivers all kind of good sounds for your music style. I would recommend it to anyone who's looking for a low-priced and good quality bass.
