Summary of User Feedback
Reviews for the EHB1005MS highlight its unique combination of modern features:
Ergonomics and Comfort: This is the most praised feature. The chambered basswood body is extremely lightweight, and the headless design and slanted back carving make it very comfortable for long practice or performance sessions, both sitting and standing.
Playability: The multi-scale neck is generally well-received for providing even string tension, especially for a tighter-sounding low 'B' string, while remaining fast and easy to play.
Tone Versatility: The Bartolini BH2 pickups combined with the Vari-mid 3-band EQ offer a wide range of tones, from tight and punchy to warm.
