I bought this bass guitars and received it over the weekend. Hello, My name is Billy Vaughn Sr from the Shining Force band. I took it to band practice and we plugged it in and it sounded great. I opened the box it cam in and when I saw the paint job its was fabulous and the quality was well worth the money. The craftsmanship and quality for a bass guitar that is reasonably prices is just unique and very well crafted. And if you want to get into guitar repair these guitars are a good place to start for an axe you'd be learning on. Again, FOR A $100 FRETLESS BASS you can't go wrong especially if you're learning to play a fretless. (I have the Black cherry burst) I'm so happy with the quality of this fretless that I plan on buying 2 more to give to my friends as gifts.

And the finish is incredible, Seriously, no flaws, or inclusions anywhere in the paint. It's not just 0 to 1 to 8, it's got a nice gradual increase or decrease from 1-10. The volume control has a good range as well.

The pickups are the usual P style but punchy and clear FOR A $100 BASS! The tone control works, yes, it works and is more of a treble roll-off and the lows are not that muddy. So much that you'll think it'll sound crappy but, wait until you plug in. It's really light compared to the usual bass. And that thing is thicker than what's on my P-bass. The strings are a half-round that feel nice on the fingers without gouging the fingerboard. I took it out of the box, tuned it & started playing immediately. I'm a studio & session bassist with a P bass, a J bass and an EB/MM and I can't say enough about this fretless bass! It showed up in 4 days, packed nicely in the box inside the included gig bag.
