Sound: Flawless. It amazes me how great this instrument is able to sound out of any amp. Feature: The knobs are a little shaky, but that's just the design of the them. There isn't anything that can be done about them because they are on a thicker screw. I'm not a huge fan of the side screw attachment, but they stay on nicely despite the cheaper look. Ease of Use: Crazy easy use. The bass can essentially play itself and sounds great for any type of music. Quality: the quality of the instrument is impeccable. Top notch and it comes with a one year warranty. Value: Absolutely worth it and I was fortunate enough to find a huge savings elsewhere and have zzsounds match it. The Wow Factor: Wow x100 Overall: The price of the instrument and the how quickly it came to my door was insane. I paid significantly less than retail price from any other major music website and it was not a sacrifice in quality at all.

Overall: Took a chance on this one by buying a blemished model. Not sure what was wrong with it (maybe some tiny scratches on the pickguard) but was impressed with the quality and overall sound that I got out this bass. The arctic white body is pretty to look at and the neck needed only some minor tinkering to get it perfect. I had an only Mexican P Bass a few years ago but this one sounds better, more low end grunt. I'm leaving on the Fender SuperBass strings that came with it, no need to change them in my opinion. I've already played a couple of gigs with it and had many positive comments about it. I'll be keeping this one for a long time.

Overall: The Bass for all seasons. You ask, it does. Relatively inexpensive (Mexican model), simple electronics, lovely smooth action, and at least in red pretty good looking. I am a rhythm guitarist usually and use a telecaster for the most part, and like the tele this is simplicity itself. I only keep a bass for occasional use, its my 5th over the years ( Ricky 4001, Vantage, Ibanez SG, and a 94 P Bass). The tone is naturally mellow and deep, but you can do just about anything to it. Sure the Ricky was a classic but it has that treble plunk to it, and you worry you will hit something with it. Not the P Bass! Hit anything you like, go ahead, these things are indestructable, so as a gig guitar its terrific.

1. We offer the most flexible payment plans in the biz

zZounds offers a number of different installment payment plans that make it affordable and convenient for you to get the gear you really want today, without racking up risky credit card debt.

Other stores offer house credit cards that require you to fill out an application and pass a credit check--and, if you qualify, leave you vulnerable to exorbitant interest charges once the initial promotional period ends. zZounds payment plans are easy to get and simple to use; plus we'll never charge you interest!

2. We guarantee the lowest price

If we don't already have the lowest price, just send us a link to any legitimate competitor's offer, and we'll beat their price as long as we're not losing money on the deal.

To submit a request for a lower price, click "Seen it for less?" on any product page. We answer most lowest price requests within two hours. For extra peace of mind, you also have 30 days after your purchase to find a lower price; if you do, we'll refund the difference.

5. Our customer service is consistently rated the best

zZounds customer service is consistently rated at or near the top on every major comparison shopping website--probably because we only hire experienced musicians with outstanding customer service skills to work in our call center, and they don't work on commission. To us, this is our most meaningful measure of success. zZounds has served over a million customers since 1996, and they're the only critics whose reviews really matter to us.
