Advantages: Nice tone, Good appearance

Disadvantages: Weight, Shape, Frets, Neck...and more

An all around good bass, not the best for learners. The tone out of this bass is tremendous but you do sacrifice alot for this bass. Yes, you get the glamourous look and x-factor but the bass, similar to the guitar, is heavy and gets hard to play when you get to the 20-24 fret zone (Depending on the neck size). Also, it doesn't "like" slappin'n'poppin as the pick-ups are moderate for pick-ups that come with it. I would recommend this bass to old rock bassists where the bass lines that you play consist of small runs and low bass lines (nothing to high up the fret board)

Summary: A ferrari without an engine
