Customer Review Rate and Review this Product: 12 people wrote reviews 21 people rated this item AprioriMark from Puyallup, WA USA Overall Ranking: Action: Features: Finish: Playability: Quality: Sound: Tone: Subject: Great bass for the money Quality: I think that this product is easily worth twice the price. That's why I ordered one after having played one. I have a custom made fretless that's my main, but for more casual gigs, this thing is great. Features: The pickups sound wonderful for a 300 dollar bass. The neck is slim but sturdy, and it's a comfortable weight. Sound: The tone is what you'd expect from a bass that looks so much like Jaco's. Playability and Feel: It's a very playable bass, and it plays like an instrument well outside its cost. Tone: This has a fairly wide range of tone (for a J bass), though it's certainly not meaty like a P would be. Finish: The finish was flawless for what it is. I didn't see any flaws. It isn't a particularly pretty piece of wood, but meh. Action: The action was very playable out of the box. I did minor tweaking, as I expect to do with all new instruments. Date submitted: 01/10/2011 Do you own this product?: yes Charlie Schofield from Lake Tahoe, NV Overall Ranking: Action: Features: Finish: Playability: Quality: Sound: Tone: Subject: UNEXPECTED Quality: It is well built, for sure. I figured I might need to replace the pickups, tuners, or upgrade the bridge to a Badass. I'm leaving it completely stock, except for eventual replacement of the nut. Features: THE best feature of this bass is how well it performs VS how little it costs. Everything about the bass has met or exceeded my expectations. It is a fretless JAZZ and it sounds and plays like a very good one, once you get the setup done. Sound: Once the it was set up the bass sounded remarkable!! The Duncan designed pickups aren't very hot, output-wise. But you can get any shade of dark or bright you want. I thought I would upgrade them before I owned the bass. I'm keeping it as is! The two pickups have each got their own volume control. Favoring the rear pickup a bit and then rolling off some highs with the master tone control gives you that Jaco-ish kind of sound; punchy with articulate mids when you play finger style near the bridge. Playability and Feel: The bass isn't quite as heavy as a standard Fender Jazz. It balances very well and is comfortable to play. My bass and the two others I tried all were set up pretty high.It's not that it's hard to play the bass like that; it's hard to get that slinky, growly tone, no matter how you control the tone. Doing a pro setup is the answer. The bass can do what an American Fender Jazz can do IF it's dialed in. That is what is missing from the factory!! No surprise though. I've owned lots of basses. They all needed a setup. Tone: You can get virtually any tone you want by using the individual pickup volume controls. The passive tone control works perfect at tailoring the correct amount of brightness. Subtle adjustment creates usable changes in the tone, revealing more attack, or mellowing it out a bit. Finish: The poly finish is pretty much flawless. It looks beautiful! I only rated 4 stars because of some imperfections in the wood that show through the finish. But for the money, I'm not really expecting anything better. It is very acceptable. Action: Factory set up wasn't too good. Medium action, but not much "muaaah" as my fellow bassists call it; that fretless growl that is. I'll be doing some nut filing, and probably replace the nut at some point. It's soft plastic, and the action is way too high for the notes closest to the nut. It not only makes it harder to play, but also kills the growl. Gotta dial it in.
