Best Choice Products Acoustic Electric Bass Guitar, Full Size 4 String, Fretted Bass Guitar w/Padded Gig Bag - Aged Natural

What a great Bass for the price! I was apprehensive at first about this guitar, but I figured "what the hell" for the cost. I lucked out because there were no major defects. There was some glue on the fretboard, but it was easily fixed with some 000 steel wool. The frets were surprisingly well-finished with no sharp edges. The factory strings were trash, so I quickly replaced them with Ernie Ball Earthwood strings, and man, this thing sings now! The intonation was a bit off, and the neck needed a truss rod adjustment (as with almost every guitar bought online), but don't be afraid of that—it’s super easy to do if you just ask an AI for instructions. The neck is a little thick, but it’s very playable. It’s the perfect "living room" bass that I don't have to worry about the pets knocking over. I love this thing!

I play a six-string, but now and then I will have several guitar players together, and it would be nice to have the option to slide over to the bass. As it's just going to be an occasional thing, I didn't want to spend a ton on it, but I am surprised at the quality for $69. Granted, it is a fairly jarring Tennessee orange, but that doesn't bother me. The quality is very high. I have looked at the acoustic basses at GC and really see very little difference between this one and a $300-$400 acoustic bass. Sounds good without amplification or plugged into a Spark on the bass setting. I was particularly impressed by the fretwork.

For the price point and for what you you get, it’s really not bad overall. The sound unamped is decent. It’s much louder amped. I am going to try a better set of strings to see if unamped sound is any better. The instrument looks nice, I bought the sunburst finish. Neck has a pretty good feel to it. I did tweak the truss rod to my liking, easy enough to do. The only area where it falls the most short for me is the tuning posts, they seem a bit cheap and the bass seems to have a bit of difficulty staying in tune. UPDATE: I changed the strings with a set of Ernie Ball acoustic bass strings, definitely sounds a little better. A little more tweaking of the neck! The tuning post seems to be ok after all so I am changing my original 3 star review to 4 stars, you can't beat it for the price

For the price, excellent value. By no means is it profesional grade, but great instrument to play and have fun…And built solid. Will it last 15 yrs? Who knows.. but it is perfect for my daughter’s lessons and development as she learns the instrument. Im still blown away by the price.

I'm a professional guitarist with a home recording studio who often finds that my self-recorded songs could use some additional bottom end, especially when I record solo demos to present to my cello partner. Of course, once my partner and I agree that a piece is best played as a duo, the cello takes care of the bottom. However, I sometimes record other musicians and produce their demo tracks. Again, while I usually serve as the session guitarist / fretted instrument sideman for these recordings, I have often thought I should have a bass guitar to round out my recording arsenal and add some clear bottom to these home recordings. I've been working on a project where that was exactly the case. I was going to borrow a bass from a student when I found this guitar. I figured for less than $100 I can experiment a bit by running the bass directly through the board and get some sonic feedback as to whether a bass addition works on a recording or not without breaking the bank. Either way, I figured it MIGHT be a handy piece of recording "equipment". Boy, was I right! For this specific purpose this bass guitar fits that bill perfectly! Oh sure, the fit and finish is not perfect and it's unplugged tone is not great and is certainly not loud enough. But, recording directly through a board sounds fantastic. I am both shocked and pleased. To be clear, I am NOT a bass player and thus I would never use this thing as a piece of performance gear. And if I were a bass player, I'd probably looking for other options. But, as said, as a piece of recording gear this instrument would be hard to beat for the price. With these specific caveats, buy with confidence. UPDATE: Continuing to experiment with this bass in a "direct to recording board" way, I notice a significant hum. I put a Baggs Venue in the chain so that I could use a balanced XLR into the board and the hum remains. I think it's a grounding issue. I can greatly reduce the hum by knocking back the gain quite a bit and then restoring the volume in post. I'll keep updating as I experiment further. Final update: I'm saying good goodbye to this one. I never did find the source of the hum but suspect it's a ground shield problem. I could probably work around it but my original thought was to keep things very simple and simple means direct-to-board recording. This, I cannot do. We're it not for that reason, I would be rating the bass highly for its size and scale length, its easy-ish action, etc. Instead it's on its way to a player that doesn't have my specific requirements.

It's better than the price tag is. So for 75 bucks it's as good as twice that.

This bass is nothing short of incredible. I wasn't going to buy it because the brand name just sounds so generic . After reading reviews I found out that not only was it a nice bass but it is also a 30" neck and that's what I like. The bass doesn't have one single cosmetic flaw , did not require a setup , just tune it , stretch the strings and retune it and bam you're done. It also came with a really nice padded gig bag . The bass is most likely made out of plywood but that's great because plywood build acoustics are louder and because it's a bass , there's really no difference in tone compared to a solid wood bass . I had a Fender acoustic bass and this one actually sounds better. I have not plugged it in and tested the electriconics becyI don't plan on using it like that . This is a bass I bought for practicing and jamming without having to plug anything in. It comes with electric bass strings , probably a low gauge and again , I'm totally cool with that . This thing rocks , you can't go wrong .

I actually prefer short scale bass so I'm very happy but this listing is incorrect. 15" from the nut to the 12th fret makes this a 30" short scale. This makes the body a little smaller and more manageable than a lot of acoustic basses I've owned in the past. It's not going to be perfect for 80$ but it plays really well and sounds decent for what it is. No built in tuner but the eq works. It's got a truss rod on it. The strings aren't horrible honestly but I'm putting earnie balls on it soon. Very fun little pink bass. The case is better than I expected as well. I love not needing an amp all the time
