What can I say about this bass except that every bass player should have one in their collection, even if it's a cheap one as this is. This is a Japanese P-bass that I bought real cheap it's completely stock except for the pickup cover which I added. The cover does serve a purpose. It prevents me from playing over the pickups which allows me to "dig in" a bit more without grounding the strings out on the pickup pole pieces. This bass sports an old set of flatwounds that I've yet to change.
