I think it's awesome! The asymmetrical neck makes it very easy to play. It's very light and the shapes fits my body well.

It's probably my go to bass at the moment as the P Retro means I can cover a bit more than just passive but it has a fantastic passive tone to.

I've played fenders and other customs and this one is top at the moment.

Favourite feature is the neck and there is nothing I don't like.

I've just commissioned a full custom

Those necks are quite something. Particularly comfortable on a 5-string.

Is that a battery indicator by the input? If so, nice touch! (Mine's passive so not something I need to worry about.)

Very nice. I thought I recognised the bass - Alan put the pictures up on the Graft thread on the same day as my Finn 5, so our basses must be from the same litter.
