Needed an affordable back up bass for gigs , new about the QC issues on older RSDs but took a chance.....
So glad I did the Sadowsky active sound is just awesome, hardware is serious quality. Took this to rehearsal with my 90's rock cover band ,they loved the tone and presence I was able to get out of it. Neck , fret work are OK, but this is where you will notice you are on a budget but this is so much bang for your buck !
