My favorite bass

Music Background: Gigging Bassist
Lightweight, easy to play and well built. Don't be fooled by the price, this is a serious bass. Far more affordable than the Hofner, Stays in tune very well. At practice and gigs, the guitarist is always tuning up but my bass is always in tune. Always, no joke!

Everyone is so use to the flat solid body bass that this feels uncomfortable at first but after playing for a while you get use to it .

no problem with tuning , no buzz . A GREAT bass at a great price and I do prefer this over the Hofner . close [-]
