I have hot roded it with bartolini pickups, badass bridge, aguilar obp1 pre-amp and this thing runs with high end fancy basses. This bass has been trouble free and it sets up with very nice low action. The truss rod adjusts very easily. A friend of mine has a high end Fodera and he told me that this mexican bass plays as well as his Fodera. I have played other mexican basses and none of those play or sound like this one does so it is hard to find one that performs well. Keep this in mind when you go to get one, play it first. As far as upgrading it, the Badass bridge should be the first thing you do. It makes a world of difference in the tone.
