Basically it's a fantastic bass, never had any problems with tuning, looks awesome etc. The only problem is the neckdive caused by the heavy neck, I fixed it by drilling a new strap button behind the neck but some people don't bother. Only an issue if you like to play standing up.
Also, does neck dive mess you up when your playing (like fall and misposition you fingers)? or is it more of an issue with fatigue? if your really strong it shouldn't even be an issue, right?
Not sure about that, basically you have to hold the neck up with your left hand constantly, meaning it's very difficult to move around the fingerboard. It also strains your shoulder, but that's less of a problem.
@Benphase2 if you reposition the strap button and put it a little bit higher on the guitar, then it should prevent the neck dives. or just use a real thick strap
im a guitarrist, and i have made alot of songs, and in the future im thinking of buying a bass, is this bass worth it? is it heavy?
