THE BASS AND EVERYTHING THAT CAME WITH IT WAS AWESOME BUT THE MANUFACTURER DID NOT SHIP THE BUNDLE WITH THE CONNECTION TO BASS AMP, THEY NEVER EMAILED OR CALLED ME BACK ABOUT AND AMAZON ALSO DID NOTHING...SO NOW I'M RUNNING AROUND TRYING TO FIND THE DAMN THING! :O(

WOW!

The photos on this page does not do the product justice... after I got it I was like WOW! this thing looks cool! It is in perfect working condition and everything is as expected. The gig bag sucks though. There is zero protection or whatsoever provided... but the strap ain't too bad. The connecting portion could be made of better material... but it will last a few years from my guesstimate. The amp, like they said, ain't got much kick... but when they specified it to be a practice amp, why would you want more? If you are in your room or practicing with your buddies, why do you need to have the whole neighborhood listen in? Over all, it's a great deal for a nice product... and that fuzz people talk about on the fret? That's called n00bness... it's a beginner's common mistake, something you stop doing after some practice.

awesome

this is a great bass for starters if your small its light and the amp is great the only thing that was a little bad was the instructional DVD they dont have the greatest teacher but otherwiseit was great oh yah dont underestimate the picks.

Really good for beginners

This is a very nice combo at a cheap price, especially for beginners. The extremely fast shipping took exactly two days, so that was nice. After a few months, I've had some problems though.

When I first got it, the amp was dead. Didn't work at all until I opened it up and saw that a soldered cord had mysteriously snapped off a contact, possibly during some bumpy shipping. I simply fixed it by removing some the cord's plastic and wiring it onto the port. From then on the amp worked, but because of it's size you should just use it for practicing, but look into buying a bigger amp if you want to perform with it.

My strap broke after a while since it is kinda cheapish and low-quality so I got a better one. Same with the cord - it snapped when I tripped over it, and it's short anyway so I got a longer, better one.

I've had trouble with the bass making weird buzzing noises at certain frets, so that's a bit annoying.

The instructional dvd wasn't all too good... I bought an Idiot's instructional book that turned out better, so get a book as well.

Other than all that, it's a good deal for a beginner, with a nice sound and everything. After a while, it's ideal to get a new bass.

great starter setup

This bass really impressed me...it is very light and the sound is quite good. It is an outstanding starter bass but has the feel of a more expensive bass. The amp is well small and work fine, but a larger model is really need to sustain powerful tone. I would recommend getting additional gig bag, cord and tuner....they all work but are not of the highest quality...but what can you expect from a packaged deal right?

bass and amp

A really nice beginner bass, amp is unfortunately just barely adequate. But given the price, still a fair deal.

nice learner

Great starter for learning bass. Have been regular guitar player
for many years, just starting to get interested in bass. Its very much a Fender clone. Good quality throughout.
