I was looking for a 5 string to make it easier to hold down the low end in keys like Eb, D and C# when I came across a video from the BassTheWorld guys on this bass. Great channel and you should check out there review of this instrument - it very much echoes my own thoughts on this bass. The electronics are astoundingly good and do so many different sounds well. The construction is also top class and the feel of the instrument in my hands lives up to and possibly exceeds my MIA Fender jazz which comes at a considerably higher price tag. I will admit that another user reported the bridge being unsatisfactory for getting the B string to intonate. Yest this is a really problem, though somewhat exaggerated in the other review. With my B string being set as far as possible from the neck, it is the tiniest bit sharp - not even a quarter of a semitone. Is this an issue for me? Absolutely not, and I barely notice it in the face of how incredible this B string sounds. It's got a beautifully deep and clear fundamental, largely in part to the neck through construction, I suspect. If you're looking for a boutique quality 5 string instrument, at the price of something only a large manufacturer can put out, you've come to the right place!
