The sound is great. The pre-amp is wonderful. But the neck is less than ideal: It suffers from a huge neck dive. So much that I can't even play it while seated. Less important, but still a negative point for me: The neck is larger than other jazz basses, such as the Squier classic vibe. In sum, if sound is all that matters for you, go for it! If you like nice necks, go find something else.
