Absolute monster.
This one is a surprice. I was looking for a short scale for sometime. Easier to travel, lighter, you get the drill. I've came across LowEndLobsters review of this bass and I was blown away, so I decided to buy one.
Next thing you know, it bacame my main bass, I used it in studio, live. it became my main go to instrument. It sounds loke a beefed up precision, and it cuts through the mix like a burning knife! It's a sleeper. If you a precision guy, just buy one, you'll not regret that decision. The neck is one of the smoothest and fastest I've ever played.
I just love this instrument sooooo much.

I hate this pedal with a passion.
I hate it so much... First of all if you don't have another pedal with a midi clock, don't even waste your money on it. I used to play in a two piece band with a looper (bass+vocals) and used the Boss RC-30 without ANY problems for a very long time. Finally I've swithet to this, bacause everybody seemed to use it and my experience with it was the worst ever.
First of all no metter how hard I tried I coudn't meka the loop seem straight. The loops were seemingly shorter every replay and the pedal glitched (even after the software update), one time it glithed and reseted in a live situation. And the fact the loops were never straight drove me almost to a depressive state of self-doubt.
It is possible I just coudn't make it work. It is just my subjective opinion, but: I hate, hate, hate it.

More players need to hear about this strap!
Are You playing for long hours? Standing on a gig? Your back hurt?
Well it will be, but it can make it a little better! Just bought my second one it really manages to make your bass seem lighter. (For the record I can't tell a difference between this model and recoil 2.5 - so just buy the cheaper version, they're almost the same).

Well... A mixed bag.
I've bought this case in December 2020 and I've been using it extensively since then. I've traveled a lot with it by train, car, etc. The Bass inside was ALWAYS safe.
Why 3/5 then? First of all it should be 3,5/5. Now let me tell you about the cons of this thing: -The backpack straps snapped after about a year - the case hit the floor - the bass was safe, but the head I was carrying in ample storage was damaged. -You have to remove the wheels to comfortably wear it on your back. -The wheels are much to small and hard. It's really unstable, shaky and loud as hell.
Bought it as an ultimate case, now I only use it when I'm sure i don't hve to do a lot of walking afterwards. It gets the job of protecting Your insturment well, but the other features are just... Not there.

Tricky one.
My personal experience with this instrument is 5/5, but I acknowledge it can be rated lower by some people.
I'm mainly a bass player. So when that's out of the way, let me tell You about the Upswing. It's very quality build, nice features and looks amazing, it's also one (if not the only - I'm not sure) of the "electric uprights" that You can use a bow on. Does it sound like an upright? No. Does it work? Yes. Can You travel with it light? Yes. Can it be used as a practice/gig substitute for a double bass. Yes, I certtinly do! How does it work in studio? I'll let You know:)

Decent practice amp.
Probably an amp I had the longest. It's cheap, very light, quite loud and easy to transport. I use it mostly for home practice and/or micro acoustic bar gigs. It's ok. It has an external speaker, so You can plug another cab when You're running out of power. Never really got into the whole "TonePrint" stuff.

Probably my favourite looper.
One thing that I still use despite all the newer alternatives. The newer ones didn't stick with me - and I HATED the Tc Electronic Ditto x4 (hated it so much) so I went back to the RC-30. Why only 4 stars not 5? It can be somewhat not intuitive for new users and sometimes after a break I have to re-learn it.
