  Hey, my mom bought me a diamond for my birthday. I have been playing it for about 3 months now. I am an intermediate player. I started with a squire (fender) and also played two other off-brand basses. I practice and play every week now with the diamond. The color in the picture (the blue) looks much better in person. Each pickup has its own volume control (top two knobs) and the bottom knob pulls up to use the coil-splitting feature (which I dont use too much) and that just slightly changes the tone. Turning the knob allows you to fine tune the guitar to your play style, which really helps with playing slap bass. I use it 99% of the time playing in church (contemporary to christian rock) and the rest of the time playing harder rock at my house (songs by Thrice, Blindside, etc.). The strings are very close and require very little effort to push. It seems to hold its tuning for 3 to 4 weeks (approx. 5 to 6 hours of playing). It plays great with fingers, picks, or slapping. The only thing it really needs is a fifth string.

  This is an almost-perfect bass. If you want something like an Epiphone Thunderbird + Fender Jazz, here it is. It has an dark punk tone, good for post-punk, hardcore punk, heavy metal, and also Noise rock. To me it's very good bass, good for plucking. Very stright foward bass with a "Indepent" tone. I would recommend this to an beginner and even a professional. :)
