Cheap-ish and cheerful bass
I bought this stingray because I had an itching for some humbucking action, and didn't own a bass with a maple fretboard. I am pleased with it.
PROs - The combination of black gloss with chrome hardware coupled with the maple neck and fretboard makes it a very smart and stunning.
- Since I am used to a five-string, the neck feels quick and thin, very comfortable and it makes stretching and moving around quickly effortless. Quite comparable to my Fender Jaguar.
- The pickup is bright with that classic stingray tone, great for more percussive techniques like slapping and using a pick.
- No visible damage and a flawless finish.
CONs - Pickup is quite hot and specifically caused a bit of trouble for a soundman at a gig because the E string is particularly prevalent. Easily fixed with a compressor pedal though.
Overall it's a top bass for a very decent price, and if you can't justify buying a Music Man (as was my case) it's great.

Good slap
Feels nice to play and has great sound. The material is not top notch, but still solid. Only thing is that other basses this price is better when it comes to precision.

very good instrument
very good musical instrument I am very pleased with this purchase all I needed was a set-up (a complaint: although they told me that the special ones would do it before they send it to me)
