This bass was bought for home recording and it looks, sounds and plays very good. (I am a guitarist so take that with a pinch of salt). I use it for low tuned modern metal music and in B standard (its default tuning) its very good. My 1 issue was when going to dropped A tuning the 1st (heaviest) string sounds too dead and for me not usable in that tuning. However... I think this would easily be fixed with a tweak to the set up? or a different string gauge, which I plan to try.
In general its a very good bass and im very happy with it
