Setup out the box was perfect, finish perfect, brilliant neck, neck took a tiny truss rod adjustment after I changed to my favourite strings, and the neck pocket is carved perfectly and the contact is great.
The pots are CTS and are an upgrade on the player series and the tone is everything you want out of a pickup. I have had US, Jap, Mex fenders before and currently, and over time you can get really dialled in with an instrument, and have it set just so for your own preference, and 3 months in, I feel that way about this. It's everything I wanted it to be with no surprises and no problems. The one I have is probably the best 'new' bass I have ever played.
Nice to have rosewood back too.
