I've never had the chance but I've heard nothing but good things about that bass in general! Try it out first and inspect it with a fine tooth comb before commiting!

I have had one for 7 years now and is my main bass. Very nice bass. It has active pickups and humbuckles. It has a very nice tone. You can get a great sound out of it from a good slap sound to a nice fat low sound. I put DDR high beams on mine and like it very well. The string spacing is little wide. It tunes very well and stays in tune. The B string isn't floppy and has a very nice tone. Really it all depends on how it fits in your hand. If you like it then great. I haven't ever had any problems with it. It has taken quite a beaten to. What I mean is it has fallen off the stand before and has had other people play it and it still plays nice. There are some reviews of it on these web sites. Hope this helps. Any more questions just ask. Thanks.
