Ever since I've seen this bass I've wanted it. Is anyone familiar with it. Who likes it who doesn't? I played the diamond P at guitar center and didn't really like it all too much.

I played one once with some dead strings on it. I thought it was a great PJ for the price, though it was a bit too tame for my flavour (though that probably had to do with the strings). Very nice bass!
P.S. if you can get the bass for cheap you can think of replacing any pickups you dislike, they are just standard size Seymour Duncans.

I have a diamond series one. Stock they are not very impressive. However, I swapped out the pickups (duncan designed) with a set of EMG P J and put in the EMG preamp (forgot which one, but it has the bass and treble control stacked), and I kept the bridge and neck pickup volume knobs.
It now has absolute killer tone. It is clear, can cut, and sounds meaty. But it is very modern sounding...not what you'd expect with a vintage styled body. The attack is ridiculously fast. It's almost like a funk machine...and strangely it is a slapper delight like the sterling I got...arguably even better.
I have ground round wound strings on it and every bass player who has played on it has said, "that is a really nice bass."
Good luck. changing the pickups and getting a good setup are essential. BTW mine is ash body with rosewood fingerboard.
