Incredible weapon

I decided to bought it after a short test, but when I had the opportunity to play it along with my band I realize that was far better than I expected. The two humbuckers with individual treble/bass control plus the balance control allows a wide variety of tone control to satisfy any style you can play. The design by the BMW design team gives this instrument a very special look and is very comfotable and ergonomic to play for hours. Incerdible weapon!

I'm in love

The first time I played this at my nearest GC location, I immediately fell in love with it. As tight as it looks, it sounds even better. The tonal range and possibilities are limitless with all the adjustable tone knobs that come standard on this beast! The pre-set action is low, yet doesn't scrub the pickups or the neck with regular finger play. It is very responsive to slapping and plucking as well, I found no dead spots on any part of the neck on this 5 string which is unbelievable! Well worth the money!

Amaxing Bass

I have played many bass guitars in my days. I bought one of these early this year, And it is by far the most amazing bass i've ever played. The sound is incredibly clean, the neck is so smooth you wouldn't believe it, and the tone controls have a very wide range. This is the best bass you will ever play.

Best bass ever!

I bought the 5 string version. This is a monster with 18-volts of powered precision. With the wide range eq, any and all tones are possible! Well balanced out of the box. Plays like butter. Whether you are smooth on jazz or sheading it or funking it up, this is the bass for all seasons. Improve your bottom line. Well worth the price for American made quality in every note!
