It is.
Have had it since '01 (highschool).
The playability of it is the yardstick by which I judge all basses.

So many variables.
Body shape, weight, neck width, neck depth, neck shape, pickup combo, fret size.
It goes on.

they have a personality. mood determines which i would choose on a given day.

Thanks man, I'm too impoverished to afford proper gear, but it's forced me to learn to make do with what I got, and build the rest

A well set up inexpensive bass usually sounds better than a pricey bass with a crappy setup.

with today's electronics, i can see a shovel being used as a platform from which to play. like a cigar box guitar.

Any more, shovels are a lot easier to find than cigar boxes.
