Bass Bass Bass!!!

What I like about this little stick is that I can sit in front of my computer/speakers and play songs on Real Player or Windows Media Player without having hook up a bulky amp. Then, when I get ready to gig, I can grab my "P" Bass and go to work with plenty of practice under my belt. The tone is great for what I am doing in my practice sessions. The neck and body are great to work with, as well. In general a great little bass to play around with. Haven't even plugged it in yet, much less tried to use it on a gig, so I don't know how it would sound through an amp.

This bass looks nice and the action is good for a bass of this price. The tone is good although the volume is a little low. The problem with my bass is the intonation. The bridge slot is wider than the bridge and because of that the position and the angle of the bridge is not correct so the tunning for 3 of the strings gets progressively worse as you work up the neck. I don't play it and if I had kept the box I would return it. With a new wider bridge and many hours of work I could fix it but I think I will just trade it in at a music store for what ever they will give me for it. I was not expecting perfection but what I got is not playable to me.

    For such an affordable instrument, it is surprisingly well-made, fun and easy to play! Again, it's not a high dollar Taylor or Martin, but it's still quite nice. Big, warm sound with a ton of natural volume (probably because it's a very large instrument made with better than decent wood) No complaints. No issues whatsoever. Very satisfied. Nick at Guitar Center (Murrieta, CA) asked me if I wanted the one they had in the box, I said "no thanks". I had played this one in the guitar room for a good while and really felt like i was supposed to take it home and not the one in the box in back. Matt in repairs took a quick look at it and then I swapped out some gear for it. I couldn't be happier with my purchase!

    Got this on STDOD and well worth the price. Wanted something for acoustic or house or camping jams. The bottom 3 frets of all strings buzz no matter what, hoping a neck adjustment can fix this. Otherwise, playability and construction is great and bass looks very nice to the eye. Def worth the price I got it for.

    Great bass for the price (-$100 stupid deal of the day). The pictures show the black model having a built-in tuner, but mine only has volume and tone.

    Unfortunately additional pictures are unavailable. Blemishes are slight and do not affect the tone or play ability of the instrument.
