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

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!

Impossibly decent at this price. A professional bass playing friend took a peek and found it light and pleasing. Both plugged in and acoustic sound quite lovely. Stays in tune!

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

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.

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.

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

唯一はチューナー機能が見当たらないこと。他はアコースティックベースとしては機能デザイン音質十分。

Problème de micro… Il ne fonctionne tout simplement pas… Attention à vous !

Tout d'abord une basse acoustique de ce prix wow!!! et une superbe qualité. bonne résonance, son grave et bien équilibré pour le prix. Il est arrivé selon les délais!

I bought this from amazon after coming across this on eBay and wanting to guarantee a good shipping experience. Amazon always packs and ships well, so I ordered from here. Free shipping took less than a week to my house, and the bass arrived in perfect condition. I am very impressed with the bass as a whole! It's a little rough around the edges, and isn't something to brag about, but I got more than I expected out of it. I was looking for an acoustic bass to simply play and have fun with, and this exceeded my expectations for the price. It's not the best bass you'll ever play, but it's the best one you'll get for $125. The painting in the sound hole is a little iffy, and there was still masking tape on mine. As well, the fret markers along the top of the neck were a little dirty looking. Paint on the body has small imperfections, but nothing terrible. If you are a little picky, these are things that might bug you. However, sound wise, it sounds great to my ear. The body is smaller than all other acoustic basses I've played, but it is still pretty loud. I prefer it, it makes the instrument a little easier to handle. I had no problems with sharp frets or high action on mine. The neck feels plenty strong to hold the tension of the strings, as some other reviews have mentioned, though I do avoid the neck bends when playing The Awakening. The strings that came on mine are very nice; half the cost of the bass is probably in the strings. Over all, I am very glad I pulled the trigger on this. I am more than happy with what I got, especially considering I could easily spend this much money renting an instrument. I recommend that anybody who is looking at this to simply play and enjoy for yourself, or to use around a campfire, to simply buy it. It's so cheap, you won't regret it, and amazon will look after you if there are any problems.

This beginners model is good quality for the money and sounds good for playing around at home.
