The stock strings have the feel of much higher cost ones as well. Overall, I will give this a five for the money, ...
This bass arrived in excellent condition and was easy to tune. The pickups sound good, although output was on the low side. Very lightweight, and I will put this in the class of basses I have played costing 2-5 times more. No set up issues currently, but I am relearning after a 20+ year break from years of weekend gigging. The included bag is fine, but offers little protection. The stock strings have the feel of much higher cost ones as well. Overall, I will give this a five for the money, and a 4.5 against other instruments I have played. This was a great axe to get my chops back, and I will get reacquainted with my flame top 5 string after I build my confidence on this.
