Action is bottomed out with the exception of the B and E strings!

So I've had a chance to play it a little bit bit after I did a quick setup (I needed the action lowered a bit. It came from Sacramento, so it arrived in tune and needed no truss rod adjustment. I lowered the action as far as it could go and tuned up and it, quite surprisingly, played like butter with buzzes only on the B and E string. So I raised those up a little bit, and since the bridge spacing is adjustable, I brought the B and G strings in a bit to make the spacing together (nice feature).

The build quality is superb on this bass. The sound quality is impressive to say the least, and the B string is clear and thunderous..I haven't heard a B string sound this good since my Hanewinckel....in fact I haven't encountered a bass that could get this low of action since the Hane as well....which if you've played on of Pete's basses, you'd understand is impressive as well.

The lower register is a little bit of a stretch for me, but I think I'll be able to handle it. This thing plays like butter. Super low action, absolutely no buzz even when I dig in, and it's ergonomics and weight are excellent.

I'm very happy and this bass sounds exactly like I want it to through the Eden.
