so I got mine a few weeks ago.
I was actually very very surprised with the way it plays and sounds.
I played an ibanez 5 stringer of a similar price tag a few weeks prior to receiving it. (this is actually my first bass)
and this makes the ibanez look like a sad joke. the low b is tight as tight should be on a bass.
the higher notes ring beautifully. the entire build quality just feels better.
I'll post some pics and sound clips as soon as I get a chance.
I will say this though, a 5 months waiting period (I had to wait) for something which is not custom made for you, is a bit of a stretch.
