Overall Ranking: Action: Features: Finish: Playability: Quality: Sound: Tone: Subject: Classic Beatle tone! Quality: I think the quality is excellent. This is a well made instrument. I expect it to be dependable as I take good care of my guitars. No issues out of the box. Everything works perfectly. Features: It looks more expensive than the price. German Hofner tone for a few grand less!Buy a set of off white and gold teacup knobs on Ebay. Comes with black knobs. Teacups are correct knobs for this bass. Comes with a decent, locking hardshell case. Sound: Incredible tone. Think early Beatles McCartney sound. This is my second violin bass and the sound is rich, clear, warm and full. I use it in my classic rock/blues band and everyone loves it. As a recording bass, it's second to none, in my opinion. Records very well. Playability and Feel: Very light and narrow body. Fairly thin neck and very easy to play. Quite a difference going from a Jazz bass weight and size wise but easy to adapt to. Very light and comfortable for long playing standing up.You'll love it! Tone: Immediately lose the stock strings and buy a set of LaBella deep talking flatwound .39 strings.The bass comes alive with new flatwounds. Instant early Beatles McCartney tone! Finish: Excellent fit and finish. Action: Action was perfect out of the box. Date submitted: 1/12/2012 Do you own this product?: Yes V. Johin from Nashville, TN Overall Ranking: Action: Features: Finish: Playability: Quality: Sound: Tone: Subject: Excellent Especially for the Money Quality: So far it seems to be well made. Features: The looks and styling are the best features, because lets face it, people buy these for the style first and foremost. If you want a Beatle Bass on a budget, this is a great deal. Sound: Round and McCartney-like. Playability and Feel: Plays like a Beatle Bass should. I've played real German Hofners, its a really nice entry level version for a great price with a case. Tone: Its round. Finish: The finish and paint was very impressive. Action: Very surprised, it plays perfectly right out of the box and was even relatively in tune as well. Date submitted: 12/24/2011 Do you own this product?: Yes, bought it for my son for Christmas Read all reviews
