    I bought this specifically for a show at a venue that me and my band have been wanting to play for awhile now. This thing did not at all disappoint. I actually feel so much more incentive to pick up my bass to practice, and all my friends have noticed an increase in my skill level because of it! Great bass, and well worth the purchase. #sweepstakes

  • Great bass for an intermediate player.

    This bass is incredible. Once setup, its tone and feel when playing are great. I particularly enjoy the rounded edges of the neck. Overall its feels very quality in the hands and when playing tone wise.

  • Awesome bass, especially for newer players

    I originally was in the market for an electric guitar, but the bass section at guitar center kept calling out to me. I've tried many basses over the span of a few weeks to get a feel for the tone and feel of the instrument. For tone, i'm not at a level where I can tell a ton of differences between instruments but it's very apparent for the player II pricision (If you can see it in person, i think youll be able to tell as well). Secondly, the strings were very easy to play compared to the ones on the other models I tried such as the squire. Maybe it has to do with the specific unit i have I don't know. BUT this bass has been awesome to play, and has been amazing for learning. I was in the market for a starter bass, but I think I found my end game from the get go.
