The natural finish on the wood is breathtaking; it looks like a beautiful piece of furniture. Everyone from teenagers to “old” folk, to people who don’t even play an instrument are wowed by this guitar.

I have had no problems whatsoever.

Desirability:
It is gorgeous! As I said, everyone that sees this guitar is blown away. It’s look is very striking and unique for a bass. I can take it to a formal concert and not feel out of place; in churches it’s great; it will “fit-in” anywhere
Sound:
The sound of this bass is warm. The low register is smooth thunder. The upper register is full and luscious. I have run it through a soundboard as well as a large bass amp; either way, it kicks

I have played all types of msuic with this guitar; hymns and praise music; jazz and rock, even in orchestras and it is the most versitile bass out there. You couldn’t give me any other bass!
