Soft, mellow, hard, punchy, growly, gnarly... been using expensive basses, but honestly differences are so minimal (sound), that for sake of relief not needing to be over stressed of treatment of bass on all situations is relief on playing it more loosely. Quality is high, straight neck, and it behaves well on adjustments. Been told this is ”beginners” level bass. Ive played bass over 10 years and am over that beginner phase, but still consider this a tool through which I can express anyting with my fingers and soul. With this price Im just considering of having second similar Jazz Bass for flat wound setup and still it would not hurt wallet ;)
My only modification was to put Ernie Ball 2834 Super Slinky (45-100) set to get the sound and playability as I want it.
