Great buy for the buck!

This is a great-sounding piece of equipment that you will not be disappointed with. Note: If you are purchasing from somewhere warm like me (Palm Springs), keep in mind Indiana is very cold at times. During the time I bought mine, which was around February, I checked the weather in Fort Wayne and the daily average was about 14 degrees. Here in Palm Springs, it was averaging 84 degrees. A huge difference! My point is, during transport the weather will surely untune and mess with the action and especially the intonation of your guitar and you WILL have to adjust it when it arrives. Fear not...it took me all of 10 minutes and it sounds perfect!

This bass is the best for beginners

Like I said, it's the best for the beginners being very cheap. Where it falls apart is the Low B string with the pre amp not the best for capturing the lowest of the grungy Bs and if you want to go any lower than the B, it falls apart.

Ive had this bass for multiple years and about 2 sets of strings from other companies than the D'Aadario strings they came with and i cannot find the strings that make the B sound crisp and full of attack, even adjusting the saddles to a lower action (which i find help the lower b strings) does not help.

The amount of ringing i hear from the bridge and saddles also is quite a problem, but if you adjust and get the truss rods in a good enough position then they should be fine.

The quality matches the price.
