A couple of questions on that Killer if you will...
- how is the overall fit, finish and quality?
- how would you describe the neck?
- anything in particular that you like/dislike on it?
Let's see...
I'm not really into boutique basses, though I did own a 70s BC Rich once, so I'm not the best person to judge high quality, but the finish is definitely shiny, the hardware is high-end and the whole thing just looks nicely put together. Somebody more picky would probably find flaws.
Neck seems to be Precision-width, and flatter than average though not very very flat. 34" scale and 24 frets means the neck and the whole bass are loooong.
I like the fashion designer vibe - how even the bridge looks fancy, there's no wood visible anywhere except for the fingerboard, how the pickups don't have exposed polepieces which makes them look slicker etc. I mean, a girl who used to do modeling and knows very little about instruments insisted I buy this bass. I also like the bigness of this bass - it's longer than a Precision, wider, and the body is even a few milimeters thicker. And it sounds fine in cello tuning (CGDA), so if you need to tune lower than E it should work for that too.
I dislike the lack of fingerboard markers or side dots on the left-handed side, though I rarely play above the 9th fret anyway. I wish it had Precision-style electronics, since I never use the bridge pickup, and that also makes the VVTT controls pretty pointless for me. And I dislike that it's pretty heavy - not a problem on stage, but there's no denying that lighter basses are easier to carry to a gig when you don't have a car. Also, the mirror pickguard in real life is not nearly as attention-grabbing as I thought it would be.
Also, if you're after modern homages, take a look at the Retrovibe RV4 and Retrovibe Vantage. They're a lot less expensive, too.
