Nice bass, great price

My daughter grew too big for the mikro ibanez bass. We saw this bass in a store and tried it out. It is lightweight and comfortable, sounds full.

Great all round bass

by Mattis from Norway

Music Background: Hobbyist (Marabakke on iTunes)
My first and only bass through 10 years was an Epiphone Thunderbird, bought mostly for it's bad (b)ass look. It served me well for a studio bass, but I never found that simple, clean bass sound on it.... read more [+] It was always rumbly and deep, and had a very long neck that was hard to get used to for a guitar player.

I started to look for an affordable, verstaile bass and this baby popped up in my search. Short scale, feels almost like a strat, with both P and J pickups. Good looking, comfortable to play, no noticeable neck dive with a leather strap (compared to the Epi Thunderbird that really sags). It sounds great. Best from the P pickup. The J pickup is a little low and I dunno... thin sounding. But it works well to blend between the two pickups to dial in the sound you want. I was looking for a decent pop/clean bass sound and found it here.

The finish is pretty good, not perfect. Just a few small specks of uneven/missing paint - you can't see it unless you're looking for it. The neck needed a bit of adjustment and I could probably releave it a bit more to get string height down a tad. The bridge is okay, but rattled a tiny bit in the beginning, not anymore. Tuners are good. All in all a good looking budget bass, perfect for studio use (short scale in front of a computer is a good idea). Recommended. close [-]

Gotta Love A Short Scale

by Witnar from Cedar Park, TX

Music Background: Hobbyist and amateur musician
The bass is put together well enough that it feels solid, and doesn't feel like it's going to fall apart. A little more care in assembly would have been nice, like the rear pickup was pretty dead beca... read more [+]use someone had banged two of the volume pot posts together and they were shorting out. This was an easy fix, and now the bass plays quite well. I popped in some GFS Vintage pickups and some new pots, and now it sounds like a much higher quality bass. I really love short scales, and no, I don't have small hands. The fact is short scales have a string sensitivity to bends and vibrato that 34" scale completely lacks. close [-]

Our Customers Say...

My Sales Engineer is the best. If I need it tomorrow, I have it tomorrow. He makes sure everything is in order and that I'm set up right. I've spent a lot of money at other places, too, but I don't remember them calling me to make sure everything's okay.
