My bass arrived today, and I've got about an hour on it.
I'm pretty much 100% in agreement with
@Beakertwang. Adapting to the short scale was easy, but I'm still getting used to the thick, squishy strings. The sound is surprisingly good for a $150 bass with a bridge pickup only, but I'm going to have to EQ it to get consistent volume top to bottom. Intonation is perfect all the way down, and this is one of my biggest complaints about most other inexpensive basses.
Most importantly, it's perfectly sized for travel, and it is a ton of fun to play. That's why I bought it, and so far I'm really happy.
