DO NOT BUY IT
This thing is a toy, the only reason to ever buy it is just to have the novelty of the design. You're better off buying a regular Squier P-bass, because at least then you'll be able to control the tone, which is the single most important thing in an instrument. If it doesn't sound good for the song you're playing, there's not changing it. Just don't buy this.

An honest effort
This bass seems like an honest effort on the parts of FMC, but... it falls short of Fender quality and simples stagnates in the "squier" department.
This bass plays like a Squier, that is to say: weak string tension, poor fret work and a very awkward feeling neck. The pickup is even worse, plugging in, I expected to hear the boom and clack of the Duncan 1/4lbs pickup, it sounded more like a doubley wound Squier pickup (which isn't really that bad, just not what I was expecting).
This bass, in all honesty, will not make you sound like Pete Wentz unless you replace the pickup with a real Duncan SPB-3, put a Leo Quan bridge on it and get an Ampeg SVT stack to play through... be warned.

Good beginner bass
I've owned and played a Pete Wentz signature bass for 1 and a half years now. and i must say that i really hate the graphic thats on it. It makes you look stupid if you're not 10 years old. But other then that this bass a a great starting bass! easy to play, sounds quite good but not as good as the Fenders.
The lack of a tone knob started to bother me after about a year, but it should not be a problem for one who has just started playing.

Great Bass
The pete wetnz squier p-bass is a great bass, the neck feel is amazing, the seymor duncan pickups are super rad, you dont need the tone control with those amazing pickups. the sound you get from the bass is awsome, its worth the price and its squier but you feel like playing a fender. the graphics are rad, when you get it out of your case everyone goes wooow and as soon as you plug it the sound is amazing! great bass i recommended for starters and for musicians that play punk rock/emo/ etc its a great bass for a great price.

I love this bass. Its great for the price you pay and is good quality too. Its sounds pretty good and its a good fret board. I love the way it sounds and the design is awesome. The best bass ever in my opinion. If your looking to buy a cheap one with good quality, this is the one! Buy it! You won't regret it.

so your looking for a bass, huh?
i will admit, bass is a relatively new instrument for me. i mainly play electric guitar. so my friend got this for me as a gift. he knows that im a big fan of the "old" fall out boy. as far as sound goes, its ok. not the best that you can get, but surely not the worst. the single knob is kinda annoying, considering that my guitars have 3. i sometimes feel a little funny playing this infront of people. it depends on who your playing to, but a lot of people dont take me as seriously as id like because they see the Pete Wentz design. they kinda judge me and my art ngatively because they see the bat logo and instantly think "sellouts". i think that this bass is best for practice. it doesnt cost a lot, it sounds decent, and it is a cool logo, you must admit.
long story short. get it if you like fob and want a good practice bass on a smaller budget. if your budget is as big as Pete's mouth, then id say you could afford better, and better you should get.
i hope ive helped. now run along and buy yourself a bass :]

Pete Wentz Bass
This is a great quality bass. I havent been a bassist for very long(2 Months) and I enjoy this guitar as much as when I first got it. Good quality wood, Fair factory strings, stays in tune very well. Great any range bass. Will last a long time and you'll enjoy for a long time too.Make sure you have a rag, being a mostly black bass it smudges easily. Other than that its a Terrific Bass

Pete Wentz P Bass
I recently bought this bass about two weeks ago. I had some doubts hearing some reviews of people. But I decided i mine as well see for myself. So i went to guitarcenter and checked it out. Turns out it has a great sound and feel. Light weight and being a beginner, its nice to learn on. Stays in tune well and has a shweet design. All in all its a Great Bass, and for the price you cant beat it. So my advice is to go check it out yourself because only thing that matters is what you like. By the way make sure you have a rag or clothe because being a black bass itll be easy to see finger prints and smudges. Go Check It Out!!
