i was skeptical at first to buy this bass, since many of my friends advised me to save up and go for a good brand. But i can safely say that they were wrong. This bass is "Paisa vasool". The P-J configuration gives so many options to control the tonality of the bass, plus you can blend in both the pickps too! The neck is comfortable and even the higher frets are easily accessible, something you don't observe on basses in this range. Worth every penny i invested.
