Beautiful 5 string bass. Plays so well and neck is incredibly straight and smooth. Made in Canada I cannot speak highly enough about this bass at such a reasonable price range. This is a passive instrumeny and the shifter switch takes you from a jazz bass tone over to a p bass tone and a few stages between. Very nice recording bass, sound just as good as basses 3 times more expensive. Action is nice and low and dead on all the way up the neck. Comes with sweet padded gig bag Feel free to ask any questions. Lots of reviews of this model bass online
