Overall great purchase. This is my second bass, thought it was time to upgrade after about 4 years of playing. This really is a very good upgrade.
I do not at all have any regrets about buying this product. The finish is superb. Lives up to all expectations. It gets the job done very well. Suits a lot of different music styles and techniques. Whether you are playing with a pick or slap it sounds great and feels great either way.
Obviously, you can look into customizing the action to suit you. Out of the box, it is really playable. Still, if you don’t feel comfortable with it, it’s very straightforward to lower or raise the action on this bass and on P-basses in general. Tools for this are included in the purchase. Doesn’t score max on features as it is a straight-up P bass. It’s not active so doesn’t have a preamp. It’s not super technically advanced, but then again P basses are a great example that you don’t need to be. It’s still an amazing bass in terms of sound. There are only two knobs (One for volume and one for tone) seeing as it only has one pickup position as this is not a PJ configuration.
Overall though everything works as it should. No complaints from me. Extremely well crafted. There is a reason for the hype behind Fender P basses. This is no exception. It sounds amazing, the finish is fantastic, the 3 tone sunburst looks fabulous in my opinion. Very classic and still has a wooden feel to it. This instrument 100% lives up to the Fender name. It simply delivers exactly what it is supposed to.
