Spend half my life on the road and this is resilient and allows me to use my time in hotels doing something I love. The sound is obviously not as full as a "real" bass and I find the overall volume in the headphones a little low but the feel, neck, weight and everything else certainly is comparable to my home bass. It also holds tune very well given how much time it spends being thumped around airplanes and such. Very pleased.

When I think 'travel bass' I think compromise, I haven't experienced much of that.

When holding the bass, I'm immediately reminded of a P-bass neck, a neck that isn't too tapered off. The split-coil type pickups also sound like them They sound great, nice round tone. This bass also slaps very nicely. With its small body, I didn't expect much sustain out of it... My god does this bass have great sustain. The headphone and aux port is really the icing on the cake as far as it being a portable guitar, they work great ~ Just make sure you bring an extra 9V battery just in case.

The bass I've received had its action set up perfectly, normally a bass players ritual may be to change strings upon receiving a new guitar... After playing for a few hours I have decided that I don't need to, changing strings might be confusing the first time around because of the headstock-less setup. Speaking of that, the strings are fed backwards, making the lower fretted strings thicker, I haven't found that to be a problem It may have had something to do with adding sustain to it as well.

My only gripe with the guitar is that when you slap, I find myself sometimes losing my pop-note finger inside the tuning head cavity... I've gotten more used to it so no biggie.

Highly Recommended!
