Out of the box it needed some setup. Quality otherwise is very good. Large 35 skale on 4 string makes this bass special, you can use thinner string than on 34 skale and remain same tension. Thinner string are easier to play, they have more pronounced tones and increases overall playability. Magnets are a bit of meat lacking i would say, and you cannot compensate that with eq that much, but tone is very clear. Overall im really enyoj this bass, and for this price it is a great deal.
