Reviews around instrument (5.00 of 5)

  • Bass guitar, with all its scales, triads, signatures, etc, is a fascinating instrument
  • As a pro, I've had to make modifications but essentially it's a great instrument.
  • This is a great instrument for players with small hands, women, kids, or anyone who just wants a solid bass at a great price.
  • I've been playing bass for over 30 years, and have never been a fan of short-scale basses, but after playing this bass, I'm adding my 5-star review to the mix because this is a great instrument for the money.
  • The instrument is solid and was set up well out of the box

Reviews around scale (4.58 of 5)

Reviews around sound (4.53 of 5)

  • The bass has a great, strong sound, and I get complimented on it at almost every gig
  • 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
  • This cheap-o sounded as good as my P-bass
  • Great sound and combination of jazz and precision pickups
  • Great neck, beautiful candy apple red and better than average sound

Reviews around guitar (4.45 of 5)

  • I know this is just another review of this nice bass guitar
  • The guitar sounds fine as is, looks great, and is well made.
  • A perfect guitar if you are an amateur at bass playing
  • A brand new guitar shouldn't have this problem -- this is simply inferior manufacturing work, and the inspection sticker on the shipping bag the guitar came in was a bad joke
  • The guitar itself had no blemishes

Reviews around tone (4.37 of 5)

  • The P-pickup is clear and strong with a great P tone to it.
  • Good, clear tone, NO HUM, and the DUH realization that this sounds like a Fender bass should.
  • is really weak compared to the P, but the tone is very good overall.
  • With a beautiful finish and great tone this short scale bass is perfect for people with small hands like myself
  • I would buy this guitar again, but I would buy it from a brick and mortar b/c of the bad tone potentiometer, lack of literature, and god-awful packaging.

  • The pickups sound decent, it arrived with good intonation, and the action was pretty good right out of the box
  • The bass has good string action and the neck is straight
  • The action is good too -- no complaints
