4.0 out of 5 stars GREAT BUY FOR MONEY, April 16, 2009
This review is from: New Electric Acoustic Bass Guitar W/ Equalizer & Accessories
fret ends were a bit rough. also some frets were uneven heights, but with a little care can be easily filed down. also, both the bridge and nut were cheap plastic. i made a brass bridge and cut an 'ivoroid'nut. the sound seems to be more powerful and solid now. amp'ed tone is so-so but acceptable.feeds back rather easily. all in all, nicely finished and easy to play. hard to find a better acoustic bass for $100!!!!!

1.0 out of 5 stars Not worth the money, March 8, 2010
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: New Electric Acoustic Bass Guitar W/ Equalizer & Accessories
As someone who has been playing bass for close to 30 years, I would say I know a thing or two about basses, and at the price I can honestly say I wasn't expecting much, but I was very surprised at how quickly it fell apart.

The bad: some sloppy work on a couple of the high frets which i will probably have to sand at a later date, a few paint blemishes to the fingerboard, it does not have a neck joint strap button which I will have to add (like many acoustics the strap is meant to be tied to the neck) and a few blemishes in the paint on the rear. After two weeks the tuners snapped the gears! with the bad fretwork it simply isn't worth fixing so I stuff it into a closet to possibly use for some project and picked up a Rogue Acoustic which is 1000% better than this.

The good: it really is a pretty acoustic bass.

All in all it is better to spend the extra to get the Rogue Acoustic Bass. while this one played okay out of the box the fact that the frets were off,especially on the upper frets, quickly became annoying, and having the tuners actually break gears from standard tuning? There is cheap and then there is junk. Maybe you'll have better luck, but I'd call mine junk.

2.0 out of 5 stars Why all the positive reviews?, April 14, 2010
This review is from: New Electric Acoustic Bass Guitar W/ Equalizer & Accessories
I don't see why so many people are giving this positive reviews, I guess my expectations were just too high for such a cheap price on an instrument.
I made a dumb move and sold my old bass which was $600. I missed the bass and decided to buy this as a cheap alternative so I could at least practice, plus I thought it'd be cool to try an acoustic. Unfortunately like the majority of items Ive bought, The more money paid the better quality received.

My first impressions upon looking at it were good, A normal sized bass, completely polished. When I examined it better I noticed it had some minor blemishes where the neck meets the frame, some small paint chips on the higher frets, Also the wooden piece on the body that holds the strings was unpolished which looks a little cheaper. Still the blemishes are small and the majority of people wouldn't notice them, especially if they're just watching you play. So the look of the bass is about a 4/5

When I started playing it, I was immediately disappointed. The tone wasn't as professional as I'd hoped, It sounds a bit cheap and boring. The worst thing to me is the tension of the strings are too loose. Not so loose that there flopping around but definitely loose enough that its going to annoy a bassist with some experience. A first timer may actually prefer this but your better off in the long run having a stronger tension in the strings. You'll move faster and it'll feel and sound better. I bought new strings thinking maybe the manufacture could only afford really cheap strings with this model. But after paying $20 for new strings and trying them on it makes no difference. The tones slightly different but they're still lose and it sounds cheap.

This bass won't appeal to the majority of people. If you or your child is new at bass I can understand the attraction to this bass because of the price. Its half the price of most starter models and you don't need to buy an amp, so for a small minority of people it might work. For a brand new musician this might suffice for 6 months or so. Its sturdy enough to practice on. The only thing to consider is if the sound quality isn't as good, you may not be as encouraged to play.

It might seem like I'm being harsh, maybe I am considering the price I suppose its nice that an option like this is available.
If your a bassist with some experience who is tempted to buy this as a cheap acoustic for some variety, or a guitarist who wants a bass, Don't buy this.
It's worth forking over $200-$300 for a starter bass that is more fun to play and has a good solid sound that's worth using and practicing on.
