This is an excellent sounding, lightweight, and easy-to-play bass. However, for me, this was an impulse buy that never paid off, as I'm more into guitar than bass. As a result, I've rarely played this bass and haven't made any adjustments to it other than changing the stock strings to Rotosound flatwounds. It comes with a hardshell case, however I screwed up when opening it for the first time and ended up locking the bass without a way to open it up, other than busting the pad lock open. It's still a perfectly serviceable case, however.

Let me know if interested.
