Excellent sound & Quality

This Studio5 has Excellent tone across a wide range of musical styles. Build quality is classy. Looks are attention getting. I mainly play smooth jazz, funk, county, and latin funk. I play thru a Fender rumble 500 with a GK 15 ext cab and I have no issues. She so sweet I had to name her!

Everything I need

I've had this Bass for 10 years and never had any problems, just basic stuff you need to do to keep it up. I can get whatever tone I need for any style of music. For the money I can't recommend this Bass enough . I'll never let her go.
Music background: I’m 69 now lol but I’ve been playing Bass since I was 12

I've owned the 6 string version for almost 10 years

As of this writing (early 2019) it doesn't look like Sweetwater currently lists the six string version of this bass anymore, so I don't know if this will be posted or not, but I can't recommend this line of basses enough. The feel, the tone, the look (even with some typical wear-and-tear from gigging) the finish (neck and body) of this bass is by far the best I've ever owned. I've played many basses since getting this one, but I've never found one that came close.

I haven't gigged professionally in a long time, but recently started getting back into playing. I say this because this Bass was left in its case since around 2012, and when I finally did pull it out of its case in 2018 to play it rather than confirm that it was unharmed by various moves to a part of the country with a radically different average humidity -- it was still in tune. So I don't see a need to change the tuners.

My only complaint regarding playability (aside from my neglect in taking care of the finish on the knobs and bridge -- which have oxidized slightly, but not NEARLY as much as it should have in almost ten years) is that it is neck heavy. So it tends to dive a bit without a counterweight or the "strap tied to the belt" trick. Again this is for the 6 string version, so I can't vouch for the four or five strings.

The six string has two active EMG pickups, each powered by their own 9v, and share the equalization set by the on-board preamp. The volume controls allow for amazing blending, but I've almost always played with both pickups dimed and minimal EQ adjustment.

Regardless of whether you play a 4, 5, or 6 string, if you're looking for an amazing instrument that you will never part with, buy this one.

I'd buy another if they released a fanned fret version of the 6 string. Otherwise, both as a former semi-professional gigging musician and now as an enthusiast. I can honestly say I will never *need* another bass, and have had no bass-guitar GAS since owning this one.
