It's actually quite nice. The action is very low, and it is adjustable contrary to what I have read in the past. It is only adjustable at the two end points though, not each string.
The sound is pretty good, nothing spectacular, but a pretty typical upper middle price range active bass sound.
The string spacing is very narrow. I like that - others have said it's difficult to play on.
Fret access to the 24th is very meh - it's possible but not comfortable. Reaching the 26th fret nearly requires a thumb position-esque technique as seen by upright bass players.
It's pretty bland looking... especially the neck heel, it looks really dumb. Overall everything works great, I really like it a lot.
