Sound: it sounds great. i've had it for a few months now and i think it's held up alot better than my other bass. it's withstood alot of punishment like, the occasional bump and ding, over tuned strings constaint hitting of the neck on door frames, and even getting shot with my friends pellet gun. don't hessetate just buy it it's worth it. Feature: no other accesories were included Ease of Use: it has a natural feel to the neck and it esyier to use than most of the other more expensive basses. Quality: i use all dfferent styles on my bass, ranging from slap to pop to pick and they all sound quite good on this bass. it feels solid, no parts feel untight of loose, an it's overall apperance tells you it's put together correctly Value: it;s cheap and affordable and it's awsome, great beginers bass Manufacturer Support: no i havent, cause i havent had any problems with it yet The Wow Factor: i like the color, it's a dark shade of blue thats just about close to a purple hue and the head of the guitar is also cool Overall: for as long as i live

Sound: The sound is awsome, great for a affordable price, ive ad this bass for 3 years and i love it to hell! Great impact in sound i couldnt believe it was too good to be true, but it is! Feature: Great weight, awsome finger board, pick ups are amazing.... Pickgaurd is amazing... Ease of Use: This would be the best to a beginier to have a dynamic sound and power in a cheap bass, easy on the shoulders, wieght, the neck is long and the body is big but great to play and get use too!!! Quality: this is a very steardy guitar, ive bumped sellings and walls a few times and didnt even scratch... very durable Value: Cheap but Great sound! silver tone is awsome!!!! Overall: Play this bass till it cant play any more, which will last a long time!!!

Sound: The sound of this bass is pretty good for its price. For a beginner it has a perfect sound, I've owned it for 2 years. I put in Seymour Duncan Basslines and that alone incredibly improved the sound. Great overall sound for the price though. Feature: The features on this bass aren't really fancy, there aren't really many at all. The thumb block is great for beginners to learn on and good for most any level also. This bass was made what it was needed for, with no added frills. Quality: The construction is awsome for a bass at this price. I had no problems with loose parts or any defective electronics.The finish is great, it doesn't wear off easily either. The Wow Factor: Not much cosmetics to it. Its a plain old P-Bass with no extra frills. Its a great beginner bass but I would use it in a professional career. Overall: In my opinion it is a great bass, I have a feel I will be satisfied for a while even though I own a Fender Jazz Bass. It could come with better features but I like it. It's my first bass so I have to like it and if it was taken I'd definitely replace it.

Sound: Heard my friend play it for talent show. It sounded pretty good. More than i expected. Feature: Basic. One pickup, one volume and tone knob. Ease of Use: When i picked it up to play it, it was realativly comfortable. I hadnt played with a thumbrest before, and it was very cool. Quality: His had some dings in it and one of the knobs was bent. Value: I feel if you were a beginner, this would be a great bass to get. Manufacturer Support: umm, cant say anything, ill give it a five for unknown. The Wow Factor: Actually pretty hot looking, especially the black. Overall: When you play other stuff out there, like my Spector Performer, you would reather not buy it at all, but it was pretty good for me.

Sound: Sounds very clean, clear, with a distortion pedal this sounds really awesome. Feature: features? its just a bass... it is made with very nice materials though... Ease of Use: u just plug it in. Quality: of couse its a beginner bass, so its not like rickenbacher quality, but for a rosewood fretboard, great finish, tuning knobs that stay tuned, a painted headstock (very rare and classy), and REAL (as in not painted on) inlays, it should be worth around $300.00 Value: best value on the market. Manufacturer Support: i didnt use it. The Wow Factor: uhh.. i got black on black it looks awesome! Overall: id say comparing strictly quality and playability and not price or value, its a seven amongst all the fender jazzs and gibson thunderbirds out there...

Sound: The bass I got sounded real bad. But a friend of mine has one and it plays perfect. Feature: It had good accessories. Just the bass sucked. Ease of Use: It was all messed up. Poorly built. A chunk of wood with strings. Quality: Real bad quality. Manufacturer Support: They gave me my money back, very helpful. The Wow Factor: I wanted it. Not very cool looking. Overall: Wasn't satisfied with it. My friend owns one and it is awsome. Just be advised that when you buy this it is hit and miss. Some are perfect and others suck.

SPOTLIGHT REVIEW
VERIFIED BUYER
zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us.
Sound: The sound is quite good. Especially for the price. The only problem is it tends to buzz, mainly the E string. Feature: The features are fine. The basic bass and treble knobs. Nothing superior but they work well. Quality: The overall quality is good. It is a little heavy compared to other basses I've used. The amplifier screw does come loose as someone else mentioned and so do the screws that hold the strap but all you really need is a screw driver to tighten them and they're as good as new. Overall, it's pretty sturdy and definitely gets the job done. Value: It is worth the money and then some. This is an excellent bass and I'd recommend it to anyone looking to start playing bass. Manufacturer Support: I haven't needed support because nothing has gone wrong. If you're careless with your instruments, than you'll probably need it. The company seems like they're good if you have any problems though. The Wow Factor: The bass looks very nice. My friend often calls it The Phantom Bass because the body and fingerboard are all black. It looks very sleek and even if you play like crap, the look will help you out. Looks much better than many other basses out there. Overall: This bass has been very good to me but I'm looking for a more advanced bass now. I've been using this one with my band and it does well on everything from grunge, punk, metal, funk, and classic rock to everything else. It is very versatile and you can use it for any genre or playing style. I've played slap, finger, and pick with it and all have sounded magnificient. Finger picking sounds best on this in my opinion, though. So if you are just starting out or looking for a bass to hold you over for a while, this is definitely the one.
