I also played in a show once where the bass actually had to crescendo while playing the note, and the volume knob actually caused static in the sound system while I was changing the volume and playing the note at the same time."
"I adjusted the action to my liking and fixed any intonation issues (the tools needed to do this with included with the bass) and plugged it in. I played a rock show with it last Saturday and afterwards people approached me asking if it was an old fender jazz bass (because it looks so great)."
"I bought this instrument as a "practice" instrument so I could keep one at home and the other at church so I didn't have to haul my bass back and forth. I am giving this bass five stars even though there are a few very minor things I don't like. It comes with strings that, I expected to be poor quality due to the fact this is a low cost bass. I have a Kustom amplifier that I use with this bass and, to my own ears, this bass is awesome with it. You can carry the bass in it but don't look for any protection for the bass."
"The extras that come with it (case, strings, book) are all just icing on the already delicious cake. Fedex left the package outside in an unusual place near the back of the house because nobody was home."
"Solid build, full sized as described and a nice starter bass."
"bought this as a gag, had it taken to a professional luthier for a setup, plays as good as my mexican fender."
"I believe the strings it came with are a standard gauge but I didn't really care for the feel and after playing for an hour I noticed it left black marks on my fingertips."

"It can be hard to find short scale basses, especially at this price point, but this one hits it out of the park."
"Sounds great playing 90's alternative, classic rock, or just noodling behind acoustic guitars."
