I have the sunbirst version of this bass. It has a real wood body and neck, rosewood fretboard. This bass sounds great and comes with decent strings. Good body construction and finish. Low action out the box, no setup needed. No string buzz all the way up the neck. Surprisingly good tone. Straight neck. Truss rod. Will hold up for gigs or as a backup. Perfect for beginner or intermediate player. I'd have to be pretty good player before I would consider trading up. This is all you need. Don't get caught up in name brands until you start making some decent money for performing.

I won one of these (it's white with a black pick guard) and it was my first bass guitar. It was okay to learn on but as I started learning about the bass I started finding all the flaws in this instrument. 2 of the screws that hold the pick guard on were stripped and just fell out within the first week of owning it. The strings are way too high off the fret board even after adjusting the bridge all the way it would allow. The frets are jagged and I had to file them down on either side after cutting my hand and my pants on them a few times. It doesn't hold a tune for more than one session and the neck isn't straight inline with the body. I'm glad I won it because it was a great help in learning to play bass, but no I would never pay for one of these. This is also one of the heaviest bass guitars I've ever held.

The neck was super bent and didn't even work when plugged into amps. Made me more cautious when picking out instruments so I guess it kinda helped... Still, by far the worst, most misleading thing I've ever bought. Do NOT buy this, look elsewhere, anywhere, just be careful.

my son played one for his church, it sounded good. later we got him an epiphone, made the barcelona sound mediocre at best.still, good value for beginner.

the pickups are lined up in a retarded fashion,I had to fix them because some idiot did a sloppy job putting them in the retarted fashion that their in. thy gave me a VIOLIN string with it. the tuners suck,their big fat califlowers and the headstock should be black, that way its not so obvious the the company that makes it is a bunch of unknown lose. this bass is a perfect example of why austin bazaar are a bunch of nobodys.(buy ESP,Ibanez,or Gibson)

This was a Christmas gift, and to be honest when my nephew opened it, he was trilled, but we I looked more closely at the Bass Guitar I was embarrassed to have given this as a gift, the neck was NOT varnished a couple of dings on the top of it, some scuff marks on the body of the Bass, and loose crews.
I do not recommend this seller at all.

It has six strings, I sent an e-mail to them and all they said was return it.
