thanks anyways, but im probably gonna buy one from a fellow tber thats in like new condition for 500. whats your opinion of the bass?
I love it.
The price for this quality is amazingly cheap I think.
I love the neck, it feels great, the 2 humbuckes give it a very powerfull tone. It is a very warm tone (wich you don't really hear with DT since Myung is using a lot of stuff over it)with good definition.
Lot of people consider it to be a bit heavy, but I personally like to feel some weight when I play a bass.

Just try it out yourself, my opinion about this bass doesn't have to be yours! ;)

how is the neck? i know the string spacing is tight (which is cool with me, i never slap) but is the neck flat? also are there side dots on the neck? i know ill be confused at first if there isnt :p

SIde dots???Uhm...I have no idea...and I am playing that bass everyday...weird...maybe I don't watch the side dots...I will check that for you!
And the neck is flat, but not to flat. It has a nice little rounding and it feels lovely.
And what I don't like about a lot of other 6 string basses is that they start narrow at the head stock and the more you reach the body, they become very wide..this one becomes just a little bit more wider, because of the tight string spacing.
The only thing I miss a bit on this bass is that the curve the lower horn has, could have been a bit deeper...I can reach the 24th frets, but it would have been a bit easier if they horncurve was a bit deeper.

Good luck with your search!
