I am absolutely floored by the quality of this bass. I bought it sort of just for how cool it looks. I did not expect this quality for that price. It has some weight to it for one thing , not some cheap lightweight junk. The fretwork is perfect , it came setup just fine for me . It appears to have .45 gauge strings on it , which is okay by me. The neck is sort of a Jazz style neck which I didn't know it had. Nice and narrow up near the nut . I am a very average sized guy so the norrow nut makes it much easier to fret those low notes. The pickups sound good . The finish is flawless which I am shocked by for nowadays standards , there is usually something wrong with it coming from China . The last few lower end guitar I bought that came from China have cosmetic issues or sharp fret ends . Others from China did not have any issues though. The box it came in actually was open and the bass was not sealed properly in the original box nor was it placed back inside properly with the proper foam intact at the right spot, yet it made it here perfect. This bass has the feel of a real professional instrument and that I was not expecting and I'm approaching 40 years of playing guitar , bass and some drums.

Low string spacing, lots of crunch and grunt

It sounds really great, and more aimed towards the rock bassist, or playing with a pick.
The tone knob is very functional, dialing in between a nice bright slap tone, and a mellow 70's Motown sound.
The fretboard is polyester (plastic) as opposed to rosewood or ash, but it allows for a very nice bright tone (think somewhere between a regular warm tone, and a bass with graphite neck).
The polyester neck has been done successfully on several basses, and works really well on this green bass, as it's easy to use whatever color (as wood is limited in color).
This bass has frets, and it sounds great slapping.
If you're looking for a cheap slap monster that can also dial out some old school funk, this probably will be your monster!
And what's more, the price,
I can't believe that prices like this exist on a bass of this caliber!
If I wouldn't know any better, I would say it sounds just as good as a $600 bass of a few years back!

Great bass. Love it. Would be perfect if it didn't take twice as long as it was supposed to.
