Very good entry level bass for an intermediate bassist
at $400 new, I feel like this bass is perfect for people (like I was back when I bought this lol) who are still relatively new to the bass but want a quality instrument to take learning and playing live seriously. It's very well built and sounds really good for the price, the pickups have the usual screaming Jazz Bass tone and respond beautifully to overdrive or other effects, and the neck is actually surprisingly thin and comfortable, i'm not sure of the exact radius off the top of my head but it's thinner than any other J-Bass neck i've played. Overall, for the price this thing is an absolute beast and is the perfect workhorse for a beginner wanting a quality practice instrument or a touring bassist needing a cheap beater bass

What aspects of this bass make it feel more "entry level" than professional? Is it just the fit and finish, or are the aspects of the tone that could stand some improvement too?
Absolutely killer for the price
I bought this as a cheap beater guitar for playing shows and this guitar truly blew my mind for simply how good it was at such a cheap price tag. It's constructed decently, the pickups sound pretty good and are decently high output and overall are more than acceptable given the price, and the neck is pencil thin and the action and truss rod were pretty much spot on right out of the box, I've only had to lower the action at the bridge just a tad and that's literally it. The pots aren't great but that's honestly to be expected and I can let that pass, and other than the output jack being a little noisy at times (which is really a beyond simple fix i'm just very lazy) this guitar is seriously shockingly good for how cheap it is, and I'd recommend this to basically any beginner or even as a cheap beater guitar for a touring band/a backup at shows.
