Feature:
All the hardware on this bass is high quality and flawlessly installed.
Quality:
The construction is stellar. The neck is set into the body so tightly, you cannot slip a piece of paper between the neck and the body. The frets installed perfectly, the action is super fast and it came set-up perfectly out of the box.
Value:
As I said previously, this bass is worth three times the price.
Desirability:
Just gorgeous! This bass is straight eye candy!!
Sound:
I will admit that I am biased as I am hardcore Bartolini user, nonetheless it sounds incredible, especially at the price of the bass. This bass could go for three times the price and still be well worth the money.
Ease of Use:
The string spacing is a bit narrower than I am used to but it's nothing that a bit practice will not fix.
Support:
This is my fourth Ibanez and I have not needed any support from them yet, so I cannot say.
Overall:
Awsome; a bass you can hold onto for a lifetime!
