I've only good things to say about it- mine is a standard Superlight with Spirocores and shadow pickup. It sounds really double bassy, unlike some others i have tried with shorter scale and non double bass strings. It suits you if you want it to feel like a regular bass, with that nice string resistance so you can dig in properly. No problems with set up or reliability, and obviously it never feeds back. I understand that beauty is in the eye of the beholder, but i'm certain it's gorgeous- I've seen so many clumsy and out of proportion EUBs that it was an eye opener to find this one. I still like looking at it, and it is really well made- not the chinese factory kind of finish, which I appreciate. I think the reviews on the website sum it up.
