This bass is perfect for metal and that's exactly what I need it for. I've been using a Line-6 Lowdown 300 Combo with this bass and all the effects that can be created with it. I use it mainly on the clean channels but occasionally I'll switch it to my distortion channel when needed. I can't say I have any complaints with the overall sound and tone. It only has a volume knob so the sound is almost pure from the passive custom pickup. It's Bright but not harsh, and when compared to my active 4-string bass, it has a nice warmer growl...just something cool and eerie about it. It's gonna sound great on stage and I'm definitely looking forward to how this thing will sound in the studio!
Considering the size of the company the bass came to me great! The action and inotation was great when I got it. The pickup was set perfectly and the truss rod came adjusted properly. It plays fast and smooth. The black high gloss finish is beautiful. It's such a simple bass but It's still an eye catcher. It overall looks great!
I haven't had the pleasure to gig with this instrument yet, but I'm assuming like the rest of their guitars I've seen that it will stand the test of time. Everything on this bass feels like it'll withstand anything. I feel that my Halo will not let me down.
BEST SUPPORT EVER! After deciding on what bass I wanted, I called Halo directly, ordered it and received it within 10 days. Throughout the whole process, Jeff Lee (the co-owner), was extremely friendly and helpful. I didn't have to sit through waiting period after waiting period over the phone to make any small request or change anything to my order. Honestly It was the first time I felt like I was being taken care of by a company. I'll be more than happy to work with Halo Guitars for a very VERY long time. As for the warranty, It's what seems like the industry standard. It all looks fair to me! Take a look for yourself. http://haloguitars.com/archived/warranty.html
I've been playing for 6 years. I also currently own an ESP LTD F-404, Kramer Focus 7000, Line-6 Lowdown 300 Combo. Over these past few years I've owned and played many different products. I love the growl and I love the eye appeal of my Octavia. If it was ever lost or stolen I would order a replacement ASAP! The only thing I wish went differently is I wish I had a bunch of cash so I could custom design a bass through Halo Guitars...Until then though, I think I'll be fine with what I got. I couldn't be more impressed, small company or not...Halo will always have my vote.
BUY A HALO!!!
