The bass is amazing, the strings it came with were horrible, almost unplayable. The setup un-playable. I had to send to professional luthier to fix this. Once the setup has been done the pass plays very well and I love the sound. I also got the Harley Benton Progressive 6 string fretless bass. Considering the value per buck I recommend the Harley Benton. The main point for this Warwick is the tigerstripe ebony which plays amazingly
