Awesome Bass. BUT it well need work. If you know your way around a Bass get it. For me this was a gem.
Shipped quickly. Packaged horrible. Don't know how it made the trip unharmed. The frets were sharp. Neck needed tightening to the body. Infact every screw needed inspection. All the pots for the electronics were loose, so once you turn the nob all the way in a direction it would start turning the pot. Most likely why others had problems with sound. Tore off wires. Minor truss adjustment. Pickup hight ,bridge adjustment. So like any new instrument it need setup.
After that this blew me away. Can't believe I payed a little over $200 to my door for this. It's beautiful. Very high quality parts and overall stunning. It's strange that it's such a nice peace but the finish assembly and quality control is crap. And wording on the box is out there. Then marketing it as a beginner Bass? What's with that? I've been playing over 30 years. And had many basses in my hand. And this is as good as any. So many nice things about it. It plays fantastic. And sounds incredible. Very versatile with tone. Active electronics are by far the hottest signal I've ever seen. It's seriously 3 time louder then the electronics in my Heartfield! Seriously incredible. Plays, sounds, and looks incredible. This is a $1000+ Bass in my opinion. I'm wanting to get the 4 string now also. Might get the other neck threw model (for beginners) ha. Why do they sell themselves short?? For all you guys on Bass talk blog. This thing is sweet. The talk about getting one to do modes is nuts, it's good to go as is. Also the strap is really quite comfortable. Mines on it. I like it. The gig bag is decent also. One of the cords are kinda OK the other is crap and tuner is useless. The Bass is awesome and it makes it even (moreawesomer) that I got it for $200. Try it you'll like it. No you'll be blow away.

I can tell you this. You don't have to spend a ton of money on a name brand guitar. There are several really good alternatives out there, and this is no exception. We'll finished. Very well made for the price. I'm a fan.

This is going to be only a start of a review of where the bass is and how it turns out.
OK, I got my bass yesterday, came to me my UPS, really nice guys and very careful with it. Box was not damaged at all and it was double boxed for shipping ( A nice touch ). I opened the box to see a gig bag with a bass guitar inside. Came with a tuner, strap, some picks and 2 cables / with a Allen wrench for the neck set up. Now I have to say the work working on the guitar is top notch, very clean job. Nice finish 100% perfect. I bought the 4 string model, and all I have to say is it looks really nice, but and here's the but, I came almost not put together, pickups are not screwed down all the way 1/4 inch high, very sharp fret ends, could really cut your fingers, and there is NO set up on this bass. To be honest it looks like they ran out of time to finish the bass for the price they wanted to get for it. I have not plugged it in yet, until I do all the work to finish their assembly, sand the frets, and tighten everything down, check under the hood and make sure the wires are done right. The bridge is so far up on the big E string that very hard to try and play or keep in tune as it sits. It's a real shame because they really have a gem sitting here and I knew going into this guitar that it needed work. So I will move on with this review after I get some work done to this bass and will report back on how it sound and preforms on a pro level use. It's not really a cheap guitar at all, it's just not finished by the builders. So it should be sold as a prefinished custom kit, they would sell better and people would know what they are getting into. So as it sits it's not playable from the factory, and needs work. A shame they seemed like they have anyone to set up or put together this fine bass. You know your way around a setting up a guitar or bass then this is for you, if your just starting out learning bass I would pass and find something that is 100% finished from the builder or it you don't mind paying someone at a guitar shop to set it up and file the sharp frets, then you will have a killer bass. I will come back after I get this set up and report on how it plays and sounds, so stay tuned.

Great product for the price. The bass looks beautiful and plays just as well. There are a few very minor blemishes in the body, the action was set a bit too high for my liking, and one of the pots was a bit finicky at first. The pot issue worked itself out and the action was easy to set to my liking. The intonation was spot on right out of the package. All in all this bass is well worth the asking price.

After purchasing one of the Bullfighter Neck Thru basses I was impressed enough to by this model too. There is a Youtube review of this guitar which has at least one error. This bass has a five piece neck, the stripes running the lenght of the neck are not painted on the stripes are wood glued together to form the 5 piece neck, My guess is maple and mahagony. No battery is provided with the bass so you will need a 9v battery to play it. Frets are pretty good no fret sprout playable as is out of the box in that reguard. Mine did require a truss rod and action adjustment but so has every other guitar I have purchased from Amazon. Sounds and plays well. This has music man style pickups, they have very strong magnets, I've had good luck using the Music Man recommendations for the pickup height 1/4 inch from the string to the top of the plastic pickup top,do not fret the strings when setting the pickups. In my opinion the bass looks better in your hand than the pictures show it is a looker. FWIW it has an open pore type of finish, Truth be told I like this one more than the neck thru. I did purchase this before there was quite a substantial price hike before they sold out. Even at the last price before they ran out this would have been a good buy.
