Here again, like the 4 string version, well built,, great tone and playability, basically this is a Warwick bass with the Framus brand. These basses are Made in Germany lighter than a Fender Jazz bass, but almost identical in body shape. I own both the active and passive versions This is my signature bass. I have other basses, but this bass is my go to instruments Anyone has one for sale, let me know, I will be very interested to buy it. Only reason I only gave 4 stars for features is that I like position markers, these basses do not have any on the fingerboard. Just a small thing, but I like that about the Fender Jazz basses.
