FIVE STAR well deserved
Fran in London
THE GOOD: A beautiful exotic black limba body wood, with a gorgeous roasted maple neck and a superb ebony fretboard. The radius is very comfortable, the fretwork is professionally made, every fret perfectly levelled. Those abalone inlays are very pretty and it's real abalone!
<br>
<br>THE NOT SO GOOD: at over 10lbs for the 5 strings model this is a heavy bass
<br>The sound is not bad but those pickups are very loud for a passive bass.
<br>THE VERY BAD: there is a push pull switch on the tone control, that splits the power of the bridge pickup from humbucker to single according to the manufacturer but it is completely uselss, like going from Bass to Banjo, no point.
<br>
<br>Conclusion; For a bass made in Korea this is a very nice and very well built instrument. Attention to details was miticolous, the action was perfect and intonation of the bridge saddles was also accurate. This is why despite the few bad comment I have given it 5 stars.
Amazing Instrument!

I was really impressed with this bass. It’s absolutely gorgeous. The neck was perfect, the inlays stunning, and the tone thick and articulate.
<br>That being said, this thing is heavy! Heavier than any bass I’ve ever picked up. I don’t mind, but it can to be a bit much for long sessions.
<br>The only flaw I found is that my push/pull tone knob is loose and wiggles a bit both when in and out.
<br>I would have much preferred the 2-band EQ on my Model T Session bass along with the control plate.
