Ktaxon 4 String Electric Bass Guitar, 36-inch Bass Guitar Kit with Split single-coil Pickup, Rosewood Fretboard, Mahogany Body for Kids, Boy and Girl(Red)

First ever review. Absolutely fantastic! For the price, hell forget the price! I have been having so much fun playing this. Micro bass, 2 octave guitar length scale, sounds great, did I mention fun? Considering price paid, set up is decent, still adjusting details, but better than passable out of the box. Looks - Red looks awesome, matte finish, sweet. Build - Solid, no issues, and it has some hefty to it, in a good way, for the size. Sound - Played thru a 300 watt bi amped Carvin 2-10, 1-15 stack, boom! Overall - Just love playing this thing, makes me smile every time. Nice to sit in front of the TV and noodle/practice. Definitely worth the price paid, $59.99, $19.99 shipping, 10% coupon? Done and done. Accessories - Cheap, cheap bag, cheap strap, shockingly good cord? Short, 10'? braided jacket, what?

Bought this for my six year old son who was interested in my bass a bit. It looks amazing, and the quality is crazy for the price. So fun to play. Playable out of the box. It is not a split single coil (precision style) pickup, by the way. It's two single cool jazz bass style pickups. This is obvious from the photos. Controls are volume, tone, and sweep. Electronics are noisy if you are using both pickups, but it sounds best just dialed down to the bridge pickup anyway.

The good: Surprisingly well manufactured for its price point, with no fret overhang and the electronics all worked as expected. The tone was surprisingly good. Not so good: The intonation was not set, meaning that the bridge saddles were not adjusted to ensure that notes are in proper pitch as you play higher up the neck. After setting the intonation I discovered that with this scale the 4th string (E string in standard tuning) will always be slightly sharp on higher frets without reinstalling the bridge further south on the body. This isn't a total deal breaker in a student instrument however. Overall this bass appears to be a good value but it needs to be set up by a professional to be truly playable as this is not done in its manufacturing.

I purchased this childs/beginners bass specifically for camping. It's hilariously bad, but it's perfect for what I want. And I know how to fix most of the problems to make it work correctly. I'm currently thinking of this more like a kit than a finished instrument. * The body of the instrument has a *very* thin layer of color and no lacquer or varnish, and there are a lot of cross-grain scratches which can't be fixed without removing the dye. The scratches are the only non-repairable flaw. There is also "fuzz" from routing the edges of the instrument. I used fine sandpaper to knock off the rough spots -- it removed some of the layer of color giving it a "weathered look" -- then sprayed on a couple coats of matte varnish. * None of the chambers in the body have any shielding, which can be fixed with copper tape. Easy, just time-consuming. Don't forget to add a grounding wire for the shielding. * Setup - every single adjustment was wrong, but easy to fix, and most of the tools needed are included: The nut height was wildly high... so high that low F would go sharp when fretted. This needs to be filed with a tiny, round "Swiss File," or work carefully with sandpaper. The truss rod was so tight it had the neck in a back-bow, causing huge amounts of string buzzing. Saddle heights were too low. Intonation was random, but at least the bridge is in the right place and can be adjusted. The pickups were sunk much too far into the body (like, 10 mm from the strings! Should be 3mm!) The narrow piece of foam wouldn't push them out when I tried to adjust the height. The included gig bag is a single layer of nylon, with no padding. I had low expectations for the gig bag and they were met. On a positive note, the tuners are surprisingly smooth, with a light touch from the 22:1 gear ratio. Nota bene: scale length is 25.5". This isn't mentioned in the description, and you need to know this if you plan to replace the strings at any time.

I got the yellow color of this bass guitar and it looks nice and sounds good, tone is great clear without noise. Personally I bought this guitar, coz I need lighter one for travel and to record my own composition as a hobby while on board the ship, coz I'm a seaman right now. Then I made a record out of this bass to complete the track of my song and the mixing result was excellent, the quality sound is like no difference to a standard size bass guitar. And I'm very happy with the result, now I'm enjoying listening my recorded song composition after finished recording coverted to Mp3 file. This cheaper price is a money saver with quality tone, lighter weight easy to carry, short scale but 24 fret full scale which I most like, and a very comfotable, much easier than stanbard bass guitar to dribble your finger along the fret board, coz its like the size length of an electric guitar, I would recommend this to buy!

as a girl who is more on the petite end of the spectrum I can say that this bass works pretty good from a beginners perspective its my first bass and ive been able to reach all the frets just fine. Although its definitely up to a standard far past beginner I have enjoyed its size and weight discounting the non even distribution there of.

The positive - very nice sound, fretboard smooth, no fret issues, smooth and playable neck. Feels like a guitar. The negative - finish was done very quickly. Pictures are much nicer than what I received. Red paint is opaque (not transparent like pictures), dull finish, even paint drip in the front. Will most likely require setup both at bridge and truss rod. Was easy to setup. Overall, for the price this is amazing value. If you are hesitating, go ahead, you will not be disappointed if you consider the price.

I've adjusted the action and the intonation which was off. It is very easy to play with it's half size length. The bass is the size of a guitar very short scale 25'' . I was not expecting as much, but it looks really great and I like that it has 2 pickups with independent volume knobs. It is well built for the price

It took a while to arrive but it was worth. Nice bass, well built. I chose to adjust it with a professional "luthier" to avoid damage the instrument and it sound great overall.

The bass itself is very nice and has a great colour. The sound is also enjoyable, and is a really good bass for the price.

We love the little bass guitar! It's a child sized version of a Warwick bass. Perfect for an up and becoming little rocker and bass is easy to learn, thicker strings, easy string replacement and less often than nylon or guitar strings. We appreciate your updates and tracking messages. Thank you.
