  • This is a great instrument for players with small hands, women, kids, or anyone who just wants a solid bass at a great price.
  • As a pro, I've had to make modifications but essentially it's a great instrument.

Reviews around sound (4.53 of 5)

  • So far the sound is great, care needs to be made not to hit the low 'E' string too hard or it twangs and sounds louder than the other strings, but perhaps it's me who needs to improve my picking technique
  • Great sound and combination of jazz and precision pickups
  • This cheap-o sounded as good as my P-bass
  • The bass has a great, strong sound, and I get complimented on it at almost every gig
  • Great neck, beautiful candy apple red and better than average sound

  • The P-pickup is clear and strong with a great P tone to it.
  • This cheap-o sounded as good as my P-bass

  • The P-pickup is clear and strong with a great P tone to it.

  • The P-pickup is clear and strong with a great P tone to it.
  • The pots are super smooth and quite, but the pickups are a little noisy if you take your hand off strings
