Made in USA! Kind of a playable project. Bass plays ok up to 15-16 fret then gets a bit rattley-Stays in tune just fine. Also I can not figure out the wiring- Active w bass and treble controls- i get one pickup but not the other, and at one point I had both working fine. Can't find a diagram online so... I give up. But it plays well stays in tune truss rod is fine. And for the price a 5 string Active usa made bass is pretty cool. Little to no fret wear. Come get it!
