WOW-a surprise!

I have been playing a 1988 RI '62 P-what a dream guitar. But the guys in the band wanted more growl from a low B string-and I am married...nuff said. I got the JB V Affinity for $219-I also have a Squier '72 J and a vintage modified fretless J- the rap Squier gets is unfair. The feel and sound beats anything Ibanez can muster at half the price. You can't go wrong with this one.

I bought this bass about a year ago and love playing it. It has a great sound although the pickups are a little to sensitive for my taste. The only drawback is the neck is bigger than many other 5 strings but you will get use to it. overall this is a great bass and worth buying

Great All-Around Instrument

If you are a beginner like I was, and are not sure what to buy this is a great place to star. It has all the features you could need or want. This guitar is pretty heavy but it also seems very durable. The sound it produces is high quality and I think I will continue to use it for some time to come. I reccommend this product highly, besides it has that classic fender look.

Incredible Bass!

For the price they were asking I didn't expect much. I did expect to have to change a lot of things but I was wrong! This bass was incredible right out of the box. All I did was adjust the action a bit for my tastes and it plays beautifully. The tone is also very good, I planned on changing the pickups but honestly don't see any reason to change. I've been playing bass since the 70's and this is by far one of the best deals I ever got on a bass.

Real Good Bass

I got this bass from Jay's Music in Augusta,GA and it plays awesome. I personally didn't set it up but i think the people there did. The action on it was great when I got it but I had to raise the B string because of a loud rattling noise it made when it brushed by the strings. I play it with a Fender Rumble 100 (1x15) and angain sounds amazing. Good Bass for the money.
