Just what the doctor ordered
I just recently fell for the Bass. I was looking for a package, since I'm a noob and still have so much to learn. Based on the looks and reviews, this seemed to be the best bass kit for the price.
Like many I was kind of worried after ordering, the contents of the negative reviews began to sink deeper into my mind, but it arrived yesterday and I have no complaints...

nice rocking
It is very good looking and it looks more expensive, amplifier is so, so and good for beginners, the only problem was the cable missing in my order to hook up the bass guitar to the amplifier. other than that it is ok.

Just what the doctor ordered, December 23, 2008
This review is from: Silvertone LB11 Bass Guitar and Amp Package, Liquid Black -SSLB11PK-BK (Electronics)
I just recently fell for the Bass. I was looking for a package, since I'm a noob and still have so much to learn. Based on the looks and reviews, this seemed to be the best bass kit for the price.
Like many I was kind of worried after ordering, the contents of the negative reviews began to sink deeper into my mind, but it arrived yesterday and I have no complaints concerning the BASS.
The accessories however, are pretty shoddy. The bag has NO padding and the strap is thin and actually hurts my shoulder. It would be suitable for a ukulele, not a heavy bass. These are two things I will need to replace very soon...ahhhhh more money....
I also have trouble understanding people's complaints about the amp. I may not know much, but this thing is LOUD and I never put the volume all the way up. I can see it being covered by drums, but i play with my obnoxious nephew on his electric guitar, amp and all, and have no trouble hearing what I'm playing.
The instructional DVD is a bit....weird. I wasted about 20 mins on it...but I think that aside from maybe a scale or two you can get much better lessons and tutorials on youtube.
All in all this is a great Bass for my situation. I am a beginner with my only prior musical experience being with the Violin, along with an ongoing lesson on guitar. I'm picking this up for a new hobby and so this sufficient. Very nice sound, look and weight. This is a great way to transition into the bass guitar!

nice learner, March 11, 2005
This review is from: Silvertone LB11 Bass Guitar and Amp Package, Liquid Black -SSLB11PK-BK (Electronics)
Great starter for learning bass. Have been regular guitar player
for many years, just starting to get interested in bass. Its very much a Fender clone. Good quality throughout.

I'm impressed!, January 9, 2007
This review is from: Silvertone LB11 Bass Guitar and Amp Package, Liquid Black -SSLB11PK-BK (Electronics)
This bass really impressed me...it is very light and the sound is quite good. It is an outstanding starter bass but has the feel of a more expensive bass. The amp is well small and work fine, but a larger model is really need to sustain powerful tone. I would recommend getting additional gig bag, cord and tuner....they all work but are not of the highest quality...but what can you expect from a packaged deal right?

Great Package, November 12, 2009
Overall I love this Bass and everything with it. The Bass buzzes A LOT if you aren't careful and if you don't set everything up right (But I guess that's true for every bass), but once you finish your initial set up, it works great. Definitely an excellent deal for anyone starting off playing the bass (like me haha). And easily affordable. Came with everything and then some; I was not expecting a tuner and a set of picks with it, but I won't complain. Definitely a great product.

Silvertone LB11 Bass Guitar and Amp kit, September 19, 2009
I received the Silvertone LB11 Bass kit quickly. When I opened the package I found everything in working order. The overall appearance is just as described. The coloring is beautiful. I researched the Silvertone LB11 Bass Guitar before I purchased it and found that it's a Fender P Bass Clone. I also purchased "Hal Leonard Bass Method Complete Edition". I'm well on my way to learning to play the bass guitar. If I ever become a professional musician, I will get a Fender or Gibson.

Big bang for the buck, January 21, 2010
This bass is exactly what it says it is. A beginner kit to learn on. No, it won't rival the big name guitars, the amp is nothing but a small practice amp. You can't compare it to a studio/performance amp, that's not what it is. I'm very happy with my purchase, it will allow me to learn to play the bass without investing a ton of money, which is exactly what I was looking for.

Great value, January 21, 2010
For the price, you can't go wrong. Initially there was a bit of a buzz to it but after a little neck adjustment, I managed to get it to sound great. I do own higher end Bass's and wasn't expecting much from this one, just something to tote around, but it is nice to play and I find myself using it more than I had expected to. I would absolutely recommend it.
The amp is adequate and just fine for practice. The initial buzz I experienced was minimized by just using a better cord. The one in the package is a bit chincy but again, at this price you can't expect too much.
When my package arrived the tuner was broken. I contacted the seller and they promptly sent me a new one. Very professional & courteous service, I was impressed and will be happy to order through them again.
The video is insightful and has some good pointers. The methodology is good and will have you playing quickly.
The only thing I would recommend is if you plan on travelling with it I would get a gig bag too. The one it comes with is real cheap. It is just a single layer of material with a zipper on the bottom. I don't like how it loads and it will not protect your instrument. It will only make carrying it around a bit easier. I would rather have gotten an extra set of strings rather than the bag but again, for the price, it's still more than could be expected.
If you are just starting out, or need a decent backup, this Bass will not disappoint you. Good luck & enjoy!

WOW!, August 7, 2008
This review is from: Silvertone LB11 Bass Guitar and Amp Package, Liquid Black -SSLB11PK-BK (Electronics)
The photos on this page does not do the product justice... after I got it I was like WOW! this thing looks cool! It is in perfect working condition and everything is as expected. The gig bag sucks though. There is zero protection or whatsoever provided... but the strap ain't too bad. The connecting portion could be made of better material... but it will last a few years from my guesstimate. The amp, like they said, ain't got much kick... but when they specified it to be a practice amp, why would you want more? If you are in your room or practicing with your buddies, why do you need to have the whole neighborhood listen in? Over all, it's a great deal for a nice product... and that fuzz people talk about on the fret? That's called n00bness... it's a beginner's common mistake, something you stop doing after some practice.

Love It, January 18, 2010
I recently purchased this exact starter kit and it has been worth every penny. The bass looks very sleek and sounds great. The DVD that it comes with will get you started on the basics of playing. Even the amp puts out a lot of sound and sounds clear for how small it is. I highly recommend this purchase for beginners like myself.

A great deal, you will not be dissapointed!, February 8, 2010
After reading many reviews on other websites, I got very nervous about the quality of the product. After it arrived I could not have been more suprised. It is better than I could have imagined. The amp works fine, the tuner is great, the bag is fine, the strap is strong, everything that I doubted would be any good, turned out to be great. The picture of the guitar does not do it justice. It is a very nice looking guitar, and it is by no means cheap. Many say you use your fingers, not picks to play the bass, but for many songs, picks are ideal. The 5 picks included in this package are not to thin they work fine. The only complaint I have is the DVD. Its says it includes over 2 hours of footage, (which it does) but only a third of that footage is for a bass guitar. It is a great product and I would recomend it to anyone!
