It's my first bass guitar so I may be a little biased but all I gotta say is that at this price mark you are getting a professional guitar. For me it ticks all the boxes: great price, killer looks, playability, craftsmanship (especially neck and frets), versatility (both active and passive pickup configuration), sexy sleek design. I mean there is really nothing bad to say about this guitar even if I wanted to be picky. So overall, my best buy for a long time. Thank you everybody at Yamaha for creating this baby and DV247 to ship it so fast. It reached me in 5 days and was £80 cheaper than UK online retailers. Cheers!
