I've had this bass about 2 weeks now and I'm really getting to love it. This is one of the made in Japan models. I restrung it with DR Lo riders and the tone is very good and versatile. It has a great feeling neck, made out of 3 pieces of maple. The fretwork is well done. I forgot to mention above its a bolt-on neck, but it has 6 bolts and its not going anywhere. The bridge is supposed to be solid brass, and it is beefy.
I can't find much fault with this bass, but I'll mention two minor things. The neck pocket rout could have been a bit more snug, but like I mentioned, the neck has 6 bolts, so its going to hold well. The other thing is the abalone position dots. Abalone is a nice touch, but in less than bright lighting, the dots are too dark to show up well against the rosewood board. A more contrasting lighter-colored pearl would have been better, IMO.
Overall an excellent bass though.
