Features:
2 passive humbuckers
2 vol, 1 tone, 1 active boost

What I Liked:
The bridge is both more substantial and easier to restring than previous versions and entry level basses.
Humbuckers. I hate single coil hum.
Versatile sound.
5 strings.
Simple no frills look.
Good weight balance.
The neck doesn't feel like a table in my small hands, despite having 5 strings.
What I Disliked:
The 5th string lacks proper tension. Maybe heavier gauge would help with that.
What I Would Change: n/a
Recommendation:
This is a 2003 model. Both the model and the line-up have changed since. You can probably only find it used.
