@@relaxingsounds1386 I get this is not a premium instrument, but it isn't exactly cheap at over $1300 for the 5 string. For that price you're getting a ton of features, and it's the only bass with Fishman's unless you count the broken (and way more expensive) Spector Dimension. With these Korean instruments you have to realize that it's a value proposition, and corners will be cut. As long as you budget to have it plek'd or otherwise take it to your luthier if any bad frets reveal themselves then I think it could be a good deal.

You are absolutely right with the "one volume control" thing. This is why I love MusicMan basses. Hint: Even when doing heavy lines, please try and play a bit slower. The first Megadeth line was great, but nobody was able to get the tone, just "pluckity-pluck". The humbucker-setting on this bass is awesome. In every tonal option.

I have Schecter Stiletto Studio. Really versatile bass. It has a little more spacing between the neck and neck pick up than this one. I've had Ricks, Gibsons, Fenders and Vox.

Awesome video man. One of the Schecter’s I have is a Schecter CV-4 and I love it. Solid bass, and honestly really versatile. One of the things I love about it is how the pick ups are arranged. They’re Schecter-J humbuckers. Which alone have their own sound, but also the neck pick up is slightly further from the neck (also 22 frets) so I have plenty of room for slap/double thumb plucking.
