Great Bass!
This is a fine bass -- even when you don't take into account its cheap price. It's perfect for intermediate players.
First off the finish, and hardware are good. It stays in tune well, and looks good. The frets feel good not sharp or uncomfortable. The fret board, however, is ebenol,black plastic. Not necessarily bad, as it is less affected by issues like humidity and heat etc. , but it gets scuffed and scratched pretty quick.
The neck is nice to play, a lot like a regular guitar neck, not like a baseball bat. It also as a nice semi-gloss finish.
Knobs are all real metal chrome, and there's also a slap switch. I should note that this switch is a bass cut/boost switch, and NOT a passive/active switch. The switch just changes the sound from being like an jazz sound with to being like a more punchy, bassy sound.
This means that you will always need batteries with this bass. Not a big deal since it last long on one 9 volt.

Broad ranging tone
Just received my bass - the 3 tone sunburst. It's surprisingly attractive for a budget instrument, and reasonably well made, with medium weight bridge and tuners. The "ebanol" fingerboard takes some getting used to; it's not as yielding as rosewood, but seems to work well. Fretwork was good, and the chromed control knobs are indeed made of metal.
What sets this instrument apart is the wide range of tones one can tune in using the boost/cut controls assisted by active electronics. You can hear the metallic twang of round wound strings, and adjust the brightness and fullness of the tone to your liking. A quick twist of the controls and change of articulation, and it's easy to emulate the traditional darker, thudding tones found on older recordings, and appropriate when playing in those styles. No opinion on the slap switch; I prefer the tone with the switch in the up position (towards the neck).
I think it sounds great, and I tested the instrument in a large music store...
