The bass is great for a starter bass. It's got a great sound and a wicked body. The bass doesnt slap or tap easily with. (After I slapped it, not hard, I got a buzzing sound from the E-string chair.) Basicly, it's great for the price. Reccomended!

I got this bass from a local music store, and man, this is a steal. I noticed a lot of fret buzz with the stock strings, but after changing to some Ernie Ball Standards, and adjusting the truss rod, I get very little buzz at all. The body is amazing. It has some wicked curves, and the Iron Pewter color is beautiful. The neck is very thin, so you don't have to fumble with stretching your hand to reach a string. you can just focus on playing. You can also customize the tone quite considerably, with the two tone knobs. Speaking of tone, this bass can go very deep, or nice and trebly. My E-string sounds like a C. it's very cool. I personally found it hard to slap on this, probably because the strings are so close together. but if you use your fingers or a pick, you are set for great playability. Overall, if you play hard/metal, you are gonna get a good, hard sound that is perfect for roaring along with guitars. or if you play something that calls for a lighter sound, and still want a wicked body, then you are also set with treble that punches.

I was in the market for basses last year and it came down to this beautiful bass and a Schecter Stiletto. I went down to try them both out, except they only carried the BTB. Out of all the basses I tried there (Ibas, Fenders, ESPs, Warwicks), this one was my favorite. NICE LOW ACTION makes it easier on your fingers, and it makes for GREAT SOUND. After buying this bass, I saw the Stiletto at another store, and tried it out. I still favored my BTB, which was cheaper. Please do yourself a favor and buy this bass.

This Bass is good all around. The only problem I had with it was that there was fret buzz at the first 3 frets but that went away after I adjusted the truss rod. Otherwise this bass is pretty much perfect. The pick-ups are great. This bass is also good because its sounds good with a pick, fingers, and slapping. I highly recommend this bass for anyone who plays bass guitar.

this was my first bass and what a deal. It had such a good beginning and has been holding strong with a nice bass tone and its a great all around bass to have. I would highly recommend it if your into my kinda music
