Surprisingly solid in the hands. Tone is okay, resonates perfectly fine, nothing earth shattering but fun. Haven’t tried the electric pick up yet. Good string action and intonation right out of the box. What a bargain! The white is nice and muted.

It is simply amazing how far these instruments have come. I bought this product years ago and i honestly thought it was garbage. Decided to try it again and am so glad I did. Got mine in the aged natural finish as can be seen in the photos. Was an even sweeter deal than the others at 99 bucks. This bass barely even required a set up being that all I had to do was adjust the truss rod slightly cause I was getting a little bit of string buzz but other than that it is perfect and the sound is incredible. This thing is an unbeatable deal. Even came with a nice lightly padded case and far exceeded my expectations. The only thing I can think that may be able to be improved upon is that there is a very slight vibration from the 9 volt battery (if you install one) while playing the strings. Besides that this instrument is a gem that can easily compete with or surpass entry level instruments at any major music store.

Surprise! Fedex delivered a gem in a single ply box with no padding without a single problem. Not a bass player. Guitar for 60 years. Semi pro guitar tech. Fit and finish. Better than expected. Fit and finish very good except for some blem areas on the piping at the neck joint. Unplayable out of the box. Action way high, no relief in the neck. Removed strings and shaved saddle. Rocked frets all ok after setting. Cleaned and oiled syntheticfretboard, polished frets. Fret ends were good Reinstalled strings and tuned. String height at 12th fret bass side E 2.4mm Trereble side G 2.0. (Info neck is 15 degree radius) set relief to .10 at 8th fret. Retuned and played. After getting the hang and feel of it, played nicely with minimal buzz. Went electric through a Peavy Basic 112. Preamp an equalizer work good. Volume equal across strings. Equalizer and volume control quiet and linear. Suprise!Surprise! This thing is pretty good. Intonation acceptable just slightly off, to be expected. Tuners are marginal but work. Too soon to know how they hold tune. Overall I an very pleased with this purchase. It's very playable and looks sturdy enough to take camping in a gig bag. Plan to replace strings asap as these suck. Probably Ernie Ball acoustic bass 45-95. If need be tuners which I have a used set of Grovers in my parts bin. Paid just over 72 bucks including shipping. Recommend only if you, family member or friend have some guitar setup skills, but then again it's cheap enough to use to learn some skills on.

First off, let me note that this is a $70 AE bass (the lowest price I've ever seen for an acoustic-electric), so I'm not going to compare it to the $500 Michael Kelly Club Custom sitting next to me or the $600+ Kelly Dragonfly basses I've played recently. Instead, I'm going to compare it to my realistic expectations. You don't buy a $2,000 used econobox at the car lot and then expect to drive off of the lot in a new $70,000 Mercedes. You just hope that it will reliably get you from Point A to Point B. Shipping/Packaging: I ordered it on a Thursday; it arrived Tuesday morning. The packaging was well-done with no damage. Color and Finish: The color (which some have complained about) is exactly as it appears in the picture, and I love it! Much to my surprise, the finish is flawless, even in bright, outdoor sunlight. Not a single chip, ding, or scratch. The details and the bridge are pretty cheap-looking, but what do you expect at this price? For the bridge (which was pretty rough in spots), I lightly sanded it and applied some walnut stain - after protecting the body with blue painter's tape. It was a minor detail perhaps, but the bridge went from looking cheap to looking pretty sharp. I also polished the fretboard with lemon oil (it seemed a bit dry), and that added a gorgeous luster. Size and Shape: Be aware that this is a short scale (30") bass - most likely just mass-produced and also used as a guitar body. That's probably why it has an annoying pickguard, something not typically found on an acoustic bass. However, it blends in with the color well, and I don't dare to try removing it. The bass is very, very light in weight compared to most AE basses, almost feeling like it's made from balsa wood. In fact, this "bass" is actually much more like a guitar than a true acoustic bass. Setup and Strings: You don't absolutely have to, but it's a good idea to replace the strings if you want a better sound. I put a $20 set of D'Addario Phosphor Bronze strings (long-scale) on it, and they make a world of difference. When I changed the strings, I also went through a pretty standard setup/checkout on it, and it did need some work, some of which I described above, but it's just a bit of detailing and fine-tuning anyone can do with a little bit of study. [See the comment section of this review for some additional advice.] There was no fret buzz, however, I did make a minor adjustment to the truss rod. adding 1/4 turn clockwise to lower the strings slightly, improving the "playability", but this is simply a matter of preference, not necessity. You may not have to deal with this, but one problem I did have is that the intonation was noticeably off - sharp at the 12th fret. After pulling the strings off, I noticed that the saddle sits in its notch with a little bit of slop. As the strings are tightened, it angles just a bit forward (toward the top). What I did to fix this problem was to fill the front with a thin strip of metal (I used an extra 0.55mm feeler gauge that was perfect when cut down), and between pushing the saddle backwards and more vertical, I gained about 1.0mm at the top of the saddle which was enough to correct the minor intonation problem. I could have just as easily used a strip from a soup can lid. To check the intonation, you can use an inexpensive tuner like the Snark SN-8, or if you have a good "ear", you can simply tune the 12th fret pressed down to the same pitch as the 12th fret harmonic. Another option which would probably improve the tone somewhat is to replace the plastic saddle with a bone saddle. It's not very expensive or difficult to do that, but it seemed a bit like overkill for this bass, so I didn't bother. Hardware and Electronics: The frets were good (no roughness), the tuning machines/pegs and electronics/EQ work fine (although they are cheap - the E string is underamped, and you tend to get feedback easily). All of the various screws/bolts/nuts were tight. Some people pull them and then reinstall them with Loctite, but I didn't see the need for that at this time. I've seen a few complaints here that this bass goes out of tune, but that's probably just due to the strings stretching, something that is normal for any bass and new strings, regardless of price. For a strap nut at the headstock, I just added an inexpensive separate wrap-around headstock strap with a strap button. To sum up, it exceeded my expectations (which were admittedly low), and I added these five items to complete the package: - - - - - I certainly wouldn't recommend it as a professional/gigging axe or for serious study, but for a beginner, a child, or a bass to take camping, it's a great bargain. Also, it looks nice hanging on the wall next to my other basses, and I'll admit that one of the reasons I went through the "detailing" that I did was so that I could say to my musical friends, "You are not going to *believe* what I paid for this!". For what it purports to be, I'm more than satisfied, and I absolutely give it five stars. -TJ

唯一はチューナー機能が見当たらないこと。他はアコースティックベースとしては機能デザイン音質十分。

Problème de micro… Il ne fonctionne tout simplement pas… Attention à vous !

Tout d'abord une basse acoustique de ce prix wow!!! et une superbe qualité. bonne résonance, son grave et bien équilibré pour le prix. Il est arrivé selon les délais!

I bought this from amazon after coming across this on eBay and wanting to guarantee a good shipping experience. Amazon always packs and ships well, so I ordered from here. Free shipping took less than a week to my house, and the bass arrived in perfect condition. I am very impressed with the bass as a whole! It's a little rough around the edges, and isn't something to brag about, but I got more than I expected out of it. I was looking for an acoustic bass to simply play and have fun with, and this exceeded my expectations for the price. It's not the best bass you'll ever play, but it's the best one you'll get for $125. The painting in the sound hole is a little iffy, and there was still masking tape on mine. As well, the fret markers along the top of the neck were a little dirty looking. Paint on the body has small imperfections, but nothing terrible. If you are a little picky, these are things that might bug you. However, sound wise, it sounds great to my ear. The body is smaller than all other acoustic basses I've played, but it is still pretty loud. I prefer it, it makes the instrument a little easier to handle. I had no problems with sharp frets or high action on mine. The neck feels plenty strong to hold the tension of the strings, as some other reviews have mentioned, though I do avoid the neck bends when playing The Awakening. The strings that came on mine are very nice; half the cost of the bass is probably in the strings. Over all, I am very glad I pulled the trigger on this. I am more than happy with what I got, especially considering I could easily spend this much money renting an instrument. I recommend that anybody who is looking at this to simply play and enjoy for yourself, or to use around a campfire, to simply buy it. It's so cheap, you won't regret it, and amazon will look after you if there are any problems.

Bon produit, je vais m'amuser pendant des heures avec ma nouvelle Basse.
