I got this bass for Xmas a few years back. I've got to say, it is an amazing bass. More so than the Marcus Miller Signature Fender Jazz bass we use in my school jazz band. It works GREAT for slap and pop. I have been nothing but happy with it. And for the price, you cant really argue with it. It's a must buy for any serious bass player.

Very Solid Bass

This is a very good bass for the money. I have owned MIM and MIA P-basses and J-basses and I enjoy playing this bass as much as I did those. When the bass arrived I plugged it in, tuned it, and it play great. I then lowered the action a bit and restrung with flat wound strings and it plays even better. For the money you can't go wrong with this bass.

You get what you pay for & for what's out there this isn't all that bad. I was looking for a back-up for my Fender P but am on a budget & came across this model. Decent sound, decent playabilty, especially for slapping. I've tried lowering the action but it's hard to get rid of the fret buzz, a better bridge & maybe nut should solve this. The tuners & pick-ups aren't bad, i think it has a decent sound but would replace them if i decide to keep it. It's a good bass for the price but need's work & some mods for a serious player. I would recommend it for a beginner, a good introduction to Fender.

I bought this bass from a local music shop in my town, and i figured it was going to sound like crap, but once i plugged it in i was blown away. Ive played in so many bands with different styles of music with this bass and it has to be one of the most versatile bass ive ever played. I think the best thing about this is the price. This bass is definitely worth your time.

Amazing Bass... especially for the money

I've had this bass for a couple of months now, and I have to say, it's a great bass. It has a huge sound range, from twangy and funky, to a fat rounded bottom end. I use it for heavy rock n' roll, like Led Zeppelin, but this is such a versatile bass that you could use it to play pretty much anything. It also looks really cool, and has an amazingly thin neck which is great for fast playing.... Five Stars!
