It is ok, but not original. If you are waiting for money go and get one!

for an anniversary bass they should have pimped it up more with nice oval neck inlays and stuff. this looks like a basic bass to me.

@BassGuitarMag I disagree whilst I believe victor certainly has talent but his playing seems to lack taste I just don't like his style.
I know this is an old video, but Ed, does this bass really sound that much better than some of the other basses you've demoed? I can't believe the sound from this and wonder if the recording is different, or the amp, or some other factor. Frankly this bass as it sounds on this video blows every other bass I've ever heard away for tone. Perhaps you could explain it?

@ArielsSmartyPants - This was recorded using the iSight cam and built in mic on my old Mac. Very primitive, but what it does do is compress the audio nicely. It's a good sounding bass, but not necessarily better than any of the other Music Mans I've reviewed since - 25th anniversary, Sterling 5, Big Al 4, &5, Classic Stingrays... You may just be hearing a very compressed sound that you like. Now I use a great mic and close mic the amp into Protools, it's a much more real sound.
