The semi-hollow body and set neck will give you the warm, round tone you expect from the violin bass. Rosewood fretboard, sunburst finish.

Nice groove bass, good for first-timer

I'm switching from guitar to bass in my current band and this is the instrument that's helping me doit. It's a little smaller scaled and the violin body is smaller than your traditional bas, which is perfect for someone leary of taking on the task of bassmaster. I don't have a quality amp yet and have just been running it through PAs, but I still notice a very warm, full tone. I think it'd be ideal for garage rock, punk reggae, dub, stuff of that nature. Or Beatles covers if you're playing Paul McCartney.
