Got this as my first bass in 2020, it has been dinged, smacked and even survived a car crash, it still plays like a charm so it's as solid as it gets. 
The sound is versatile to the point that after testing other basses I've never pulled the plug. Great preamp, and sound modulation, thick, chonky and gritty. 
The thing is quite big and heavy, but if you are fine with that, give it a go. Lovely instrument.
