CLB-10SCE NT : Incredible value

11 years ago

Let me preface this by saying I'm not very experienced in evaluating bass guitars, let alone acoustic ones, so caveat emptor, ymmv etc. I'm mainly a guitar player. Been playing on and off for the last 20 years or so. Strictly recreational.

This plays like a dream! I don't know if I was lucky, but this is the easiest playing bass I've ever tried. Compared to my Squier Precision it feels like playing a guitar! I just took it out of the box and tuned it, and I can't see how I could possibly make any more adjustments. It's just perfect.

One thing that surprised me is that the top is completely unfinished. No laquer/varnish/oil. No complaints here, though.

-The built-in tuner is a bit coarse. It works ok, though, and its better than no tuner at all, I guess :)

Not tested: The built-in pickups.
