Amazing Bass.
An overall amazing bass, the sound and feel of this bass is the best out of any acoustic bass ive ever played. The look is slick and a certain conversation starter. EQ works well, sounds great plugged in. Loud enough to be heard in a small acoustic band. General great bass for the price!
Best buget bass ive used
I got a loan of my freinds one and it was so good i actually bought this. The tone and playability is right up there with my ibanez and fender "must be the mahogany neck" not to mention the comfort of it whilst sitting, the Roundback with cutaway is so comfortable for me. My freind gave me his one to setup for him but there was little needing done...very suprising for the price. Plugged in to my A100 amp its supprising how good onboard eq is. Tuner works great too i checked it with my Boss TU-3. really great not just for a beginner bass, just cant beat the price for quality and tone.
solid friend
impressive outlook, ok strings, a bit uncomfy on lap at first, needs string. worth every penni
An impressive surprise
For a budget model, it sounds remarkably nice.
It resonates easily, it's lightweight yet it doesn't feel cheap. Recommended.
Great Feel And Sound For Less $$$
Very Impressive Instrument with great sound features .
Great bass
Great looking and sounding bass Great for accoustic sessions and in garden playing. Love it
Awesome, this is a really outstanding entry point acoustic bass.
It does exactly what its supposed to and does it well. Accidentally brought two and there are some minor differences in build quality around the 'sound holes'; both were rough and one hole on one guitar had a little nick but seriously for the money... its not like something that makes a difference or isn't easily fixed. One arrived in tune like it had been tested the other had never been tuned probably so maybe a quality control issue I would never have known existed if I hadn't brought two. Both outer boxes were damaged, one had a hole right through it and out the other side - thankfully not where the bass was, maybe consider using a more delicate parcel service?
When you don't want the noise
I wanted some campsite music without having the need to plug in. Having said that, I bought this bad boy acoustic bass and could not be happier! Overall build quality is very good. I may replace the tuners a little later as I believe this is the weakest part about the guitar. It doesn't stay in tune after a few hours of play, but not a deal breaker. The guitar is very resonant, almost boomy when plugged into my Fender Rumble 100 amp. Not a bad thing, just an observation. If anything happened to my guitar I would definitely buy another without hesitation. The value is unsurpassed!
Love it
Awesome Bass for the price
The tuners are of bad quality, E string tuner broke the first day.
Very high action on string set up.
