Sound is fine and versatile, as you can switch between P-style and J-style pickups or mix them. Output is not that high though.
Playability is okay, but had a few sharp fret edges out of the box. Filed them down and now it's great to play.
The bass suits many different styles and genres. Slap bass, blues, pop, rock and more. Probably not for metal, but I guess it could be if you wanted it to.
