I bought this as a guitar to learn how to play. I've played banjo before this, and it wasn't that hard a transition. the instrument is hefty but well enough balanced that it is comfortable to play sitting or standing. The action is a little high, even after re adjusting, and the strings are quite tense compared to 4 strings I've played since.
Use:
Practice and recording
Pros:
* Feels comfortable sitting and standing when playing for a long time
* Active control gives a nice bass or mid boost when playing with others
* Looks great
Cons:
* Treble control can give an audible hiss when turned passed half way point.
* Strings are very close together for a 5 string which can make slapping a little more difficult when starting with it
