clear ringing bass sound - perhaps a litter lighter sounding than a full scale bass but very nice all the same.

Action, Fit & Finish: [8]
The finish is well done but for me the most important thing was the short scale with a nice clim neck. Fits my little hand like a glove.

The cherry finish is yummy!

Reliability & Durability: [9]
I've had this for nearly 10 months now and not had a problem. I know it is not long to own something but it does feel very well made.

Overall Rating: [9]
My dad's always played an SG guitar and I have always like the look of it. With it's short scale this bass was ideal for me.

I've played other basses but this short scale just feels so right.
