I recommendz 'em. I'd ask them for an endorsement but it would cost me more in phone calls than buying another. £50, new.


A pain in the ass to tape the neck up to finish the frets, but worth it. The preamp is (obviously) cheap, so I smooth it out with the Phil Jones Bass Buddy preamp and happy days ensue.


Hope it doesn't fall apart when I put heavier gauge flats on it - the fender tapewounds are OK but the rotosound tapewounds or normal flats would be better for me I guess.

I love my acoustic bass at the moment, I dont think many people realise just how nice and honky they can be mede to sound with the right technique. Great for home practice/noodling/reading & scales etc and for £50! awesome

Very nice sound to that.

So you had to finish the frets, use a £240 box of tricks to get a decent sound out of it and you hope it doesn't fall apart.


Not trying to have a go but that doesn't sound very good

Heh - thanks, but I'll go with the majority on this. It's a great bass, with or without the toys.
