  • The instrument is solid and was set up well out of the box
  • 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.
  • This is a great instrument for players with small hands, women, kids, or anyone who just wants a solid bass at a great price.
  • 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.

  • I like playing this short scale for songs with difficult/faster bass lines.

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
  • The bass has a great, strong sound, and I get complimented on it at almost every gig
