Huge Sound for Small Price

Besides looking bad*ss in black and maple, the volume, tones and character of this bass makes it easily one of my favorites. The neck is unusual in that it's completely void of urethane finish; it feels "raw" although very well-sanded. But my favorite feature are the pickups. Paired with my Acoustic B300HD/Fender Rumble 700w 2x10, the P pickup crushes my little studio with thunder. Wow. The J pup has the familiar "snappiness" and mid-freq presence so many modern bassists enjoy. I bought it primarily for practice and band rehearsals, and as a backup...but I now consider it good enough for gigs. Finally, I'm very pleased that the bridge is of a quality that permits pretty low action, a must for all of my basses. Should you be on the fence about buying this bass, I suggest finding a GC that has one in stock/on a hanger and giving it a spin in person. Then you can compare it to Squier CV and Fender Mexi basses. The weak point, and is common with lower-priced basses, is fret sprout, sharp fret edges. But even so it's really not that bad. I hope I've helped you make an informed decision.

  • AMAZING FIRST BASS

    This bass is 10,000% an amazing first bass. Had it for 7 years and it holds up man. If you like metal you can get an amazing Rex type tone with it and some overdrive! But you can get those classic bass tones we all love. Neck is so comfy, pickups do pop when strings touch them so put electric tape over. This bass will take you very far!

  • This is the best bass

    I have had my eyes on this bass for about two months before I got it on sale. I am a life long guitar player that has dabbled with bass but now want one to take it a little more seriously. I am a Fender guy, and really wanted a Fender P bass…but now I think I am set for far cheaper! Setup, finish, and neck are all great! I love my new thumper!
