I don't remember too much about this bass to be honest. It was bought for me as my first bass and at the time I thought it was great. It certainly isn't a bad entry level bass but by the time I reached about 7 months of playing I was very tired with it. Slapping on it was near impossible and the sound available was becoming annoying.

I would only reccomend this as a first bass, anybody looking to get a second bass couldn't be making much of a step forward with this.


Construction 95%
(In relation to the price you can't get much better.)
Appearance 75%
(Not particularly striking, not particularly ugly.)
Playability 50%
(It will get you off to a good start but you will quickly need to upgrade.)
Sound 25%
(It's not bad for the price I guess and as a starter bass but the tone goes st
raight from dry to terribly twangy with barely any inbetween.)
Value 95%
(Great considering the price.)
Overall 75%
(It'll get you off to a good start but you will not get you much farther.)
