  • this bass is a 35" inch scale giving the low B string a very nice tone with a nice string tension
  • The bass is well design , tone, well balance good price

Reviews around guitar (5.00 of 5)

  • I do not think you can do better without spending over twice the $418 I paid for this fine guitar
  • I was surprised at how nice this guitar is-it played and felt great right out of the box-I'm new to fretless, so the markers are very helpful-thanks
  • So, if you're looking for a vary smooth R&B / funk sound, this may be the right choice for you
  • It is still a good bass to check out, with a slightly slimmer neck (depth wise) and wider string spacing, but I find that the tone cannot be shaped as well as with the ESP

Reviews around instrument (5.00 of 5)

  • i deducted a star because it came poorly setup with action way too low and bridge not adjusted for proper intonation, but once i fixed that, it has been a good instrument.
  • So, if you're looking for a vary smooth R&B / funk sound, this may be the right choice for you
  • Outstanding instrument for the price, but really just an outstanding instrument period.

  • The spalted maple is attractive, but tends to look as if it was several chunks of wood that was glued together
  • I couldn't be more happy with this peice of art, the spalted maple is gorgeous

Reviews around amp (5.00 of 5)

  • Obviously you will get the most from this bass with a nice amp, a compressor, etc, and maybe swapping out for pickups that fit your ear
  • It is still a good bass to check out, with a slightly slimmer neck (depth wise) and wider string spacing, but I find that the tone cannot be shaped as well as with the ESP
  • I've been going straight into an old solid state amp, sounds fine

Reviews around string (3.80 of 5)

  • I replaced the strings with flat wound and like them much better.[EDIT] 1 year later and the bass still sounds and looks great
  • It is still a good bass to check out, with a slightly slimmer neck (depth wise) and wider string spacing, but I find that the tone cannot be shaped as well as with the ESP
  • I would highly recommend this bass to anyone who is looking for a relatively inexpensive 6 string for any genera of music
  • this bass is a 35" inch scale giving the low B string a very nice tone with a nice string tension
  • After I removed the original cheap strings (that left a dark-grey deposit on my fingers) it came with and replaced them with DR Low Rider strings, it still doesn't sound impressive

Reviews around sound (3.61 of 5)

  • In comparison to my 5 string p-bass, it's got a lot smoother sound and much lower action
  • When your fingers slide along the strings, the sound is consistent and not choppy
  • The bass is great, incredible sound for the money, just had minor issues (loose screws) and a tiny scratch not eye noticeable in the mast... but overall I'm very pleased
  • A friend o'mine have a Schecter, but I don't like the sound
