Sound: It has a good sound. Really does sound very much like a real Fender P-Bass. If you like the P-Bass sound you will enjoy this very much. Feature: Everything works well. The bass may be only 8" but has great quality and volume. Don't worry that you will be cut short with volume. The tuner is awesome and very useful to have around. The strings aren't great, but if your just starting they get the job done just fine for a while. I still suggest to replace them after a week or two. The headphones are decent. They aren't great but have a long cord and are fairly comfortable to wear while playing. Ease of Use: Very good tones from this set. I enjoy it very much, but I still suggest changing the strings to get a better sound. Quality: Everything was perfect when it arrived. Everything was built well and nothing is loose. The bass and amp are extremely good quality especially for the price of this set. People hate on these basses very often. But to be honest, for serving the purpose of a starter bass set it is amazing. Value: For the price of this kit (really not much at all!), you get a tremendous value and quality. I say, look no further for a better set. Manufacturer Support: I never had to use them. The Wow Factor: It looks tremendous. I'm not sure I would lay with it, but it looks stunning from the box. No scratches or blemishes, it looks like a genuine Fender P-Bass. Overall: Has everything you need to start playing bass. I totally suggest it for anyone who wants to start playing bass. You can get great sounds from this set and honestly, feels just like a fender I tried. GET IT!

Depending on how u treat it, it can last a while. nice pickguard 2. Value: This bass is worth way more then the retail value. I love this bass. Manufacturer Support: no problems at all. The Wow Factor: I just played a gig at my high school color day and the second i got off the stage. chicks were all over it.

Back to Product Information
Sound: This bass has a nice, deep sound to it with a bit of buzzing but there are some issues. The amp is a standard bass amplifier. Nothing special. Feature: It is a starter package by Squier(Fender) so it comes with alot of beginner necessities. The Fender name on the headstock does mean quality but not as much went into this as other basses like the Fender Jazz ect. The amplifier included has standaard bass features. Input jack, output jack, EQ, and effect jacks. Ease of Use: This is a very easy bass to play seeing as how its a starter kit it has to be. The pickups are kinda retarded but you'll get used to it. Very easy to play slap bass on though. Quality: As I said in sound, there are issues with this bass. For one, I played a few bass chords a while ago and I noticed the tuners rattled.. alot. The 14th fret on the G string is completely messed up I noticed. It sounded like the 16th fret and to make it sound like the 14th, I had to bend it. The amplifier, as i said earlier, is nothing special. Sounds pretty normal. Value: For bass players just starting, this is a nice kit but for more advanced players, not the way to go. Manufacturer Support: Came with a manual. The Wow Factor: Nothing to go crazy about. Overall: Overall, its a starter kit, and thats all it is. Once the basics are learnt, move on to a much sexier Fender Jazz bass. Problem is that you can get the Jazz Bass without needing this one cause the Jazz bass in general is a much better bass to start on and keep. I learnt on this Squier, got my Jazz bass and never played this again.

Back to Product Information
Sound: i don't have th whole package, I just own the amp. The sound of the amp is ok, but perfect for a beginner. I used it for years as a beginner and it always sounded great to me. now, having more experience, I ofcourse don't feel the same. It has plenty of volume for its size, too. I was able to compete with a drummer in a practice room Feature: simple basic features... perfect for beginners. Ease of Use: not many options, but like i said, its simple, so great for beginners or for practicing alone. Quality: the power switch became jammed after a couple years of use, but my friend got the same amp around the same time and its working perfectly, I'm still using that one today. Manufacturer Support: I haven't had to deal with the company personally. I love a lot of Fender products; however, i really don't like the company as a whole. They seem to want all guitar/bass players to bow down to them and they also raised all their prices significantly during an economic recession??? who the **** do they think they are?! thats just my opinion though Overall: its great for beginners to learn and practice on, but eventually an aspiring bassist should definitely upgrade and upsize for performing live, while keeping this as a personaly practice amp. as far as the bass, You could probably get a much better ibanez for the same price.

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!
