I like the price on these basses because they sound as good as basses costing far more. My only issue is witj the B string sounding "boomy".
The other issue is with the store for not setting up the bass even though they have a "pro" in the store 3 days a week and with people that come in off the street and have a new bass looking dirty within days.
While that bass isn't my cup of tea, it was nice and sold in a week.

Guitar Center is THE LAST place I'd expect to find any bass with a decent set-up and/or with fresh strings: You most likely didn't get a good test drive with the bass because of this.
