Fender Deluxe Active Precision Bass Special Pau Ferro Fretboard Olympic White
Disappointed once I took the instrument out of the box. The neck had an unbelievable bow that needed a lot of adjustment to get right. There is also two screws missing off the scratch plate. All the control potentiometers needed cleaning, one pot was so bad that on certain points the signal actually cut out, and I was 5 minutes from returning the bass . This is a 1000 euro bass, not a starter instrument, I’m shocked at the condition it arrived in.

Fantastic sounding bass and very playable. Needed extensive set up however due to very high action. Buttons were not fastened on so needed screwing in place. Would have expected better factory set up for the price, but once set up is a lovely instrument. Only down side musically is the lack of passive tone control. Can be set easily enough through the amp and the balance between the 2 pickups creates a tone of sorts anyway.
