Owner's comments: I have had this bass for 15 months now, and I have a good idea of the sound it gravitates towards. The tone is very tight and focused, and the harmonics are incredibly rich. It has a particularly complex voice, but in a nutshell, it favors the lower mids, and responds very well to dynamics. Perhaps you could say that it has punch! This bass flourishes in a rock setting, such as a power trio, although I frequently use it in small or large jazz groups. The bass is also one of the lightest instruments I have ever held.
