AMAZING BASS

By: on 26 August 2024
Beautiful sparkle finish. Extremely versatile pickup combination especially with the option to switch between passive and active configurations. Only qualm is that the active pickups have a slight hum to them which is to be expected with any active pickup really especially at this price point. Absolutely amazing bass worth every cent.

Visually and audibly striking

I originally purchased this guitar to get back into playing bass, but I'll definitely be keeping it no matter what I grab next. Value for money has been insane, as it feels hundreds of dollars more expensive than it is. Very good that we live in an era where you can grab good quality gear at a cheap price, it really makes being a musician a more attainable goal for a lot of people. The tone you can pull out of this thing is amazing, so much variety. I've swapped the strings out for some lighter gauge ones and it can get some great bright jazzy tones, but also be used for that lower-key rock sound with the right use of the knobs. The active/passive switch is great too, allowing even more range. It's almost like having two bass guitars in one. The finish on this is a limited run, and has an almost glam-rock look to it. It's definitely been a conversation starter and I've had a few people point out the finish makes the guitar look a lot more expensive than they'd expect it to be. So if you like showing off, this one is a good option. All up, very happy with the purchase. Will be coming back for a 6 string guitar in the future.
