Bought this beauty a few years back, and even after all these years i am super happy about it!
The sound is supirior and I have even gotten comments from soundtech's at some gigs saying things like "that bass sounds awsome" or "thats a pretty great bass sound".
I have played it in several tunings such as standard E, drop C and even down to drop F# (!!) and the sound quality is just amazing for each and everyone of these tunings.
If you want a great 5 string, trust me, this is the right bass for you!
