Jazz Man

I just can't believe how much bass you are getting for so little money with this.

I use it regularly no as my live bass without issue and I don't have to fear about it getting stolen or damaged out live as I could always just get another without issue!

Put on a decent set of flats on it and play, feels comfortable enough and sounds absolutely fine.

Just a word of warning for those who wish to swap out the pickups at a later date, they are not standard JB size so a bit of work and routing has to be done to get them to fit.

Good Beginner bass

I bought this bass to learn on. It was packaged extremely well and was not damaged on the flight to England. In comparison to other makes of bass in a similar price bracket, I find that it has nice smooth pots with no scratch, very little noise on the electronics and a very solid build. I would recommend as a first bass to anyone. It came with an okay bass lead which impressed me in this price bracket.

Am still impressed.

I bought this in 2010 as part of a set and was impressed by the finish, the sound and the way it played. Since then I have had a full set-up and recently bought ne strings and am even more impressed.

In short the twin single coil pick-ups and 2-vol, 1-tone creates all the sounds you would expect and on the strap this looks and feels like a much more expensive guitar.

I look all the time for a better Jazz-style bass guitar but to get anything better I need to spend at least 3 times the price.

Vintage sound!!

This 4 string bass guitar is a very nice bass guitar and I am very pleased with it. Where it lacks in features, with only a volume control for each pick up and a master volume control knob, it makes up for with it's really deep, quality and some what vintage sound. I wasn't too sure about the colour and shape of it online but once it had arrived, it was incredibly bold and the guitar itself was lighter and smaller than dearer than most other basses, but I do not see this as a fault as it really made it easier to carry about and easier to use with the frets being close together.
