when it comes to price to performance ratio, you can't get anything better than this at this price point,
passive PJ pickups + active preamp, is very much a nice thing to have, which in this price point, you usually get one of the other, and not both,
in terms of comfort, it's very comfortable to hold, i was afraid of the neck being too chunky but it's just perfect, overall this is just a very fun bass to play with.
