Have a 4 and a 5 string. Both play like buttah. The composite covered mahogany neck gets even faster when you sweat. Sustains unbelievably.

This bass is incredible!! The controls are only confusing if you are a bonehead. Many tones to choose from due to mixer and pickup setup. I play for a living and THIS IS THE GIGGING BASS. My bass construction and finish are top notch. Leave all those terrible Ken Smith, Fender and Alembic basses at home. They weigh too much if you play bass to feed the family!!!

Had the pleasure of playing this beauty several times. This is definitely NOT a beginner bass. Great slap tones, really bright. Has the best tapping tones with the piezo that I've ever heard. IT sounds like a freaking piano. Only downside is that it is one of the ugliest basses I've ever seen. If it had a more classic body shape I'd already own one.

I am an avid Primus fan, and love to play the parker bass for the simple fact that I can pick and play out Primus cover tunes and not run into problems while I am gigging.
