same neck blank and facings are
used for both the MS models
and parallel fret models? Yes, I
understand that costs need to be
kept down, but that little triangle
shaped no-mans-land on the
headstock side of the nut keeps
drawing my eye. You probably
didn’t notice it until I mentioned
it and for that I am sorry! The
facing can’t be continued over
the top of it because of the
angled back headstock, and
there’s nothing the end of the
fretboard can do without shaving
off needed wood for strength
I suppose. So, it’s just kind of
‘there’. Hmmm.. overthinking it
maybe Dan?

Let’s round up

Overall at the price point, we
have value for money. Sure,
I needed to tweak the set up
out of the box just a little, but
that could be said of a large
number of instruments hanging
on pegs in general music shops
everywhere. We do have a well-
respected brand bass here with
a tome that will suit a huge
number of musical genres in
both looks and sounds.
