    I think it's overpriced trash honestly. My cheap Squire sounds better. Doesn't have good tones, the passive tone literally does next to nothing. The volume knob spins freely-at delivery. It's a lame bass, full of unnecessary features that barely function-last fender I'll buy.

    The rolled compound neck feels so nice, its very comfortable instrument to play it because it balances really well. The active tone is superb and has that exact fender sound you want, can get a lot of low end, mid range and highs are smooth, sustain is long and chords sound clear. The passive setting is almost like having another bass, very cool idea. The overall lighter weight is a nice bonus and I like the jack on the side.

  • Simply awesome.

    I’m sorry, we don’t know what the blemish is. The blemishes will be perhaps minor scratches, average handling wear. There will be no effect on playability or sound

    There is no defined weight of an instrument - they will all vary by as much as a pound and a half depending on the density of the wood. It will weigh between 8.5 and 9.5 lbs.
