Bass Guitar Kit P-Style : Surprisingly good

5 years ago

I bought this instrument as my second bass with intention to find out what a P-bass is like (I had a "modern" 5-string already).

After assembly, which went without problems, I was positively surprised by the sound of this bass - it is much closer to upright bass than I expected.

All the parts are of good quality (for the money). I plan to do few modifications and experiments to the instrument - so far, I have changed the strings to BEAD tuning (using 5-string set lower strings).

Pros: sound, quality of parts for the price, quality of wood is surprisingly good too

Cons: I did not liked the original strings very much, but I planned for change anyway

To summarize, this is a great instrument if you plan to explore different non-standard setups, or just to try a real P-bass experience for little money
