Ottima sorpresa
Per il prezzo pagato, è uno strumento eccellente. Lo utilizzo per suonare in casa, ma non escludo che possa essere anche un buono strumento da live. Consigliatissimo.
Great value!
Great bass for the price. I was very impressed with the quality and look of the guitar. Others who saw it did not believe the low price.
Acou-Sick bass
I bought this bass as something to jam with friends in a field with a few drinks and it has exceeded my expectations.
It is very well made, solid with a good set up and nice fretwork.
It is loud enough to play acoustically with a pick for a jam with two other guitars, I don't know how it would fare in a gig setting without an amp but for a few people in a room it's perfect.
The tuner can be a little all over the place with the low E string but it's close enough and expected with most tuners.
Practical and Good Sound
I purchased this bass because I wanted a cheap bass laying around the house I could pick up and play for fun every now and then. I went with acoustic because I didn't want to need to lug around an amp to get a bit of sound. Even tho Acoustic basses are known for not sounding very loud.
Due to the price I wasn't expecting much. But I found it looks, feels and sounds pretty reasonably. I was not disappointed.
Also, it comes with a built in tuner and the picked sounded great plugged in, in my opinion!
Amazing Bass!
Comes with great strings, didn't even have to replace them, the electronics are great and the tuner works and the amp and preamp. It sounds great for it's price range.
One thing I did not expect was its size, it's really huge but I have huge hands so it's perfect for me.
Great acoustic bass for low budget
I went for this bass to have alternative to my electric Fender JB for small private gigs and jamming with my fellows unplugged on the parties or outside. I have never had experience with acoustic bass, so I decided for this entry level budget instrument, and do not regret.
Black finish with cream binding looks exclusive. Instrument is in jumbo size, so for my long hands fits accurate. Sound is nice, warm. Neck is thicker than I was used to, but easy to get use on it.
When plugging it into amp, I have found that E string sounds quieter than others, and while trying to correct it by built-in equalizer, I’ve got feed back, so I need to try it with acoustic combo instead, and maybe that will fix it. Anyway, additionally I’ve ordered that 5€ feedback suppressor for sound hole.
One of my friends - guitarist, is going to order one, after seeing and trying mine.
Pros: attractive design, warm sound, stay tuned, able to follow acoustic guitars, affordable price for sufficient quality.
Cons: E string sounds quieter while playing plugged to non-acoustic amp.
I don’t regret, as I have not expected such quality for such low price.
Perfect for practice
Bought some years ago now, mainly for practicing or playing outside in the summer, mostly alone : does this job perfectly. I've used it a few times in rehearsal or small gigs, amplified through my Ampeg BA115HP, it sounds very good too.
Finish is really nice, electronic is reliable (battery last ... since i bought it !), confortable to play, ... Only problem is one of the machine head that have a tendency to "lock" when tuning since day one, not really important.
I hesitated between an HB B-30 and the Ibanez AEB8E at the time : i'm sure the difference isn't worth the difference in price.
Happy with my buying.
Lovely Bass Guitar
The tone of this bass guitar is lovely and the build quality is great. Having an XLR output has been really useful. Overall it's amazing value for money.
real bargain
Since this bass comes from low budget category, I am pleasantly surprised with the overall appearance, and with the quality of the manufacturing.
I find it very easy to play so I strongly recommend this bass for the beginners with bass or just for those people that are looking for a fun.
It is a real bargain and therefore, I mark it with 5 stars as such.
Amazing bass for this price range.
Flawless finish, great tone. Would expect this kind of quality from much higher priced instruments.
