Really impressed, it automatically felt familiar and easy to play as opposed to a full scale bass.
Cost me less than most of my pedals too!
The neck feels great too, that was my biggest worry because it was the neck that has stopped me buying budget Gretsch guitars in the past. I need to get in there and fit some CTS pots as the stock ones are as you'd expect but thats all i plan on doing with it. Loving the short scale.
In most music genres, if you consider the bass guitar to be a low frequency continuation of the guitar chords, you are probably not serving the music very well. Firstly, there are better choices of note that could be made. Secondly, it is usually better to relate the bass guitar part to the drums.
And for me it's paid off very well. After 30 minutes on the bass a normal 6 string feels like a toy and it's much easier to stretch for that extra 9th in Message in a Bottle for example.
I actually now wish I'd bought a Bass much earlier.
One other purchase I'd recommend a Metronome.

I should have explained the comment above, that Ricks are especially suitable for players converting from guitar - it was meant as a bit of a joke because they're often played with a pick in a 'guitary' style and with fuzz or distortion (even discounting Lemmy!), but I forgot to write that bit . Otherwise, they're no more or less suitable than any other bass really.
