"Definitely the bass I've been waiting for years, this is my second piece, it's also black. This is the only bass who can satisfy my music needs, neck pickup just like Fender Precision, bridge pickup like Jaco, midrange button is making a lot of sounds, really serious bass, ergonomic great, that’s it. Also in studio recording, awesome. On the stage... really dominant. One big like for Yamana BBNE 2"
