Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I have been playing guitar for 20+ years and was supposed to be doing that in the new band I am in. But the bassist did not show up so I gave it a go. Liked it more than I wanted to admit and ended up wanting to buy a bass guitar. Not having much money (or choice here in Vanuatu) I ended up with this one. No regrets at all, it is a fine playing and sounding bass guitar. Two volume knobs control which pick ups you want to use, with just enough difference between the 2 to be useful. The neck is a bit wider than on other bass guitars I have played, making it a bit heavier to play for my short fingers but then I am more a guitar player, so I expect to struggle a bit!
Unless you start playing like Billy Sheehan and do lots of string bending, this bass will stay well in tune and will give you lots of value for money. I enjoy it and find myself recording bass lines to (guitar-) solo over and ended up writing some tunes in the process, something I rarely do on the guitar. Jeez, wish I had got myself one years ago!
If I have to mention one small negative: the front pick-up was slanted a bit much giving me little space to rest my thumb on. I adjusted it and now it is somewhat wobbly but has not affected the playing or sound. Ah well, it IS a budget bass so not everything is perfect.
Can't tell you if it is good for many styles, I just play blues and rock.
I doubt you will regret it.
