Well, I picked up one of the limited run of Studio basses from the 2015. It's nearly unplayed, basically new condition. Auburn burst finish, 34" scale, (instead of the 34.5" that's standard on BNs), Ash body, Rosewood board.
Just threw on a fresh set of strings and did a setup. All I can say is wow! I didn't think it was possible, but the construction on this one might be even better than my VF5. And that bass is among the best built I've ever owned. I really like the radius-ed pickups (I tend to be a ramp player). And the hum cancelling option is great to have if needed. I was hoping for a bit warmer/smoother tone than my VF5 (ash/maple) and that's exactly what I believe I've got.
