The more I play this thing the more I like it, great neck. I am stunned really, I was not expecting this much bass for 299.00 and they really got it right very close to the original. It plays much better than any original I ever had in my hands. Nice flat radius on the neck, great for bending strings : ) I might put some 70's Fender tuners on it, no need to really the thing is fine right out of the box. The bass is substantial you know you have something in your hands, but it isn't to heavy. Sure a vintage one would be cool but from a players stand point I think I like this better than a real one. Now dubbed Woolly Mammoth.
