This bass is fantastic, I usually modify my budget basses but this bass came with premium components, gorgeous purple 💜 finish on Alder wood body with matching headstock, roasted maple neck with Indian Laurel fretboard/ Pearl block inlays – bonded on the side, brass saddles on the standard bridge, and the Rockwell split and single coil pickups provide a wide range of tonal capabilites, for this bass to be priced at $199 is mind-blowing, the Squier bass Classic Vibe edition or Anniversary edition are twice this price and definitely not as good, they use a poplar or agathis wood body, and they’re hardware is dubious at best, Harley Benton is the winner, this is my second bass, I bought one a couple years ago, but their new line is worth a honorable mention!
