This Phoenix-1004 TSS is a serious contender for players wanting a refined, modern bass with a vintage vibe. The thin U neck profile is super comfortable, and the Fishman Fluence pickups provide a focused, powerful tone that’s great for rock, blues, and even some funk. It's a premium-priced instrument, but delivers a lot of quality for the money.
