Good build quality, punchy, lovely satin neck. Little bit of neck dive, but not sure bad.

I however am not an actual bass player, but have one. So those are my impressions.

I've only had a couple minutes of play time in-store on one, a couple years back... but the impression was pretty good. Seemed well built, played well... but hey, just a first impression.

I remember not long ago it was the only Mustang bass available new in the US and could be had all day for $200ish. Regret not picking one up (it was the non-split pickup that discouraged me at the time).

Same, especially now that people are asking ridiculous money for them on ebay.

Too late. The bass is gone in one day. So sad.
