Just got one of these in my store and gave it a run-through, and damn these things are cool!
I dig the tone control w/ the notches in the knob let you set the tone to a specific level. Pups were pretty nice. Good amount of bite to them, with plenty of warm thump. Not TOOOO noisy when you roll one or the other off, but there's a little hum - a lot less than I was expecting.
The neck played pretty well, solid maple neck, rosewood board. Setup out of the box wasn't terrible. Neck is pretty straight, I may tweak it a bit but overall pretty good. The bridge on it is a little beefier than the standard MIM bridges I've seen, it looks to be a tad thicker.
So if you haven't played one yet, looks like they'll be in more GC stores pretty soon.
Anybody own one of these yet?
Overall a pretty sweet bass w/ a lot of cool tones for under $300. Might have just made my GAS list.
