What can I say besides this is my favorite bass?
Let's start with the rock-solid neck that never goes out of tune. And that satin finish on the back is a real plus in my book. These necks are amazing. And they are flat, another big plus in my world as I don't particularly like rounded necks.
I really like the mid-frequency switch, and tent to have it full on all the time. Gives the bass a nice "modern" tone, without sounding too sharp. The rest of the Bartolinis are perfect as far as I am concerned.
Zon offers a lot of options, and mine has half-lines, a real bonus in learning to play fretless. Hardware is all solid.
I would recommend this to anyone!
