I have it at home, when I put new strings on it, it has a pretty good sound, about 70% better, but otherwise I wouldn't recommend it for funky or jazz stuff, more for hard stuff... the fingerboard is quite narrow, for someone maybe an advantage, pickups, not much... and those potentiometers are not the best ones, but it's well made, just weak sound, I would rather pay for a squier 5-string bass now...
