Very good and affordable 5-string

Mine has a better looking natural finish. Active electronics give it loads of tone and sound settings. Plays really well. Bought it very cheap (Under 200 euros) from its previous owner many years ago, have enjoyed playing it ever since. Made in Korea, so build is immaculate.

very reliable and versatile bass

5 string, active J-bass style. excellent for hard rock and metal style, but can handle any other style as well. String through body, witch gives it a nice, warm sound. great sustain. Grover tuners with the hammerhead system are very solid, just as anything else on the bass. This thing is indestructible. It can easilly compete with basses witch cost twice as much. "Made in Korea" are best value for money, "Made in USA" are negligible better, but a lot more expensive, "made in Indonesia" are a lot cheaper, but not the same quality as the American or Korean. in short: a bass that would be a great addition to any collection, regardless the style(s) you play.
