My two eldest started in retail after school, seemed like a lot of grief for very little reward to me, glad they are both out of it now.

I hope you are quoting your skills here on your IT resume!! Mod extrordinaire!! Very Happy

It plays quite well. It's not the greatest bass around, but it is pretty easy to play/fast. The Basswood is nice and light, but it actually isn't very neck-heavy. Despite the basswood, it sustains quite nicely as well, and the wood tone is nice and articulate, while still being rounded.
Tone wise, it's got a fair range with the P/J configuration, but it took a little tweaking of pickup height to balance the outputs. The pickups are decent, but not the greatest; I plan to swap them out at some point for some Seymour Duncan Vintage P and Hot J pickups. Stock, there's not quite enough bark out of the J nor quite enough thump from the P for my tastes. I also plan to install a BadassII for extra sustain (though it's already pretty good sustaining).

It took me a few years to finally get mine, but I got a pretty decent deal on it through eBay; after shipping and border taxes it came to about $730Cdn. It's a good quality and sexy instrument; I'm not certain I'd pay the sticker price for one (if they're still about $1000 like they were when I first encountered them), there are some higher quality instruments in that price range, but at about $700-800 it's a good deal.
