I've used this bass for over a year now. This bass rocks. It has awesome sustain, fat tone and is easy to play. I made out in buying one of these. Got a lot more for $ than I expected. Plus the thing just looks beautiful.

A friend of mine just bought one of these about a month ago. This bass sounds amazing. He prefers the tone over his Conklin 7 string. I'm the drummer and the low end this bass puts out is unbelievable. The highs and mids still ring through. This is a powerful bass. The single-coils are just as quite as 'buckers. I play bass and guitar too, I have for over 10 years and I know a good sound when I hear it. The bass is a beauty to the eyes too, that can never be bad.

I've owned this bass for well over 2 years, so I know this product very well. It is a gorgeous bass with a nice round solid neck, good action, great pickups/electronics, and a tight B string. It's a great buy for all the features, the only thing it lacks is quality. I've owned two, and the first one had major pickup problems and had to be sent back to the factory. My second one had electronics problems. The wires would break off and eventually my active electronic box broke, and took 6 weeks to get a new one put in. All under warranty though.

If you want a great sounding gorgeous bass and don't mind the occasional soldering, go ahead and buy it. It's worth the money and the effort to keep it running.

Best bass I've played for the price

I was just in the market for a bass. I picked a used 5 string Classic at Guitar Center tonight and so far I absolutely love it. I played about five to ten different basses, of the ones I remember: every Ibanez (appx. 3) I tried had insanely low action, drove me crazy! The Music Man basses were all too expensive, but nice. And the fingerboard on the Spector was too hard. The Classic has a softer fingerboard than any of the ones I mentioned. This was very nice. I am really enjoying this bass so far.

One wicked 5 string

I played this bass not too long ago. I saw it on the rack, and I just had to play it. This bass is amazing. The low B string is very clear, and the highs are just awesome. If you like Slipknot, or any metal band for that matter, this bass is the perfect choice.
