Good Stuff!

No complaints at all when it comes to sound really, I got it with bronze strings and it reminded me of an upright bass, sound is great, pre amp is also pretty cool. Lovely color, also fun to play it percussively, especially if you're influenced by people like Dmitry Lysenko. One thing that I don't really like with it is the way you rest your arm, it cuts of circulation after a while, maybe get an attachable arm rest perhaps it could help.
