My initial goal was to get a double bass that I could transport around easily. Considering the dimensions and weight, it packs up decently compact and transportation is easy. Since it is a narrow instrument, storing it is a great convenience.
The sound of this instrument leans into the tone of the double bass, though it sets itself apart with its unique tone thanks to the instrument being electric. I've recorded tracks with it and played live concerts with it, and it sounds great.
A particular problem I ran into with this double bass is that the end pin it comes with is wobbly when extended out far enough. For someone who is tall, this makes it a challenge to play comfortably when starting out.
Overall, I am satisfied with this bass.
